give the notes of the vector?
Answers
Answer:
ExplanThe length or the magnitude of the vector = (a, b, c) is defined by w = √a2+b2+c2
A vector may be divided by its own length to convert it into a unit vector, i.e. ? = u / |u|. (The vectors have been denoted by bold letters.)
If the coordinates of point A are xA, yA, zA and those of point B are xB, yB, zB then the vector connecting point A to point B is given by the vector r, where r = (xB - xA)i + (yB – yA) j + (zB – zA)k , here i, j and k denote the unit vectors along x, y and z axis respectively.
Some key points of vectors:
1) The magnitude of a vector is a scalar quantity
2) Vectors can be multiplied by a scalar. The result is another vector.
3) Suppose c is a scalar and v = (a, b) is a vector, then the scalar multiplication is defined by cv = c (a, b) = (ca, cb). Hence each component of vector is multiplied by the scalar.
4) If two vectors are of the same dimension then they can be added or subtracted from each other. The result is gain a vector.
