A Short Note on Cross Product Properties

The cross product a x b is defined as a vector c that is perpendicular (orthogonal) to both a and b, with a magnitude equal to the area of the parallelogram that the vectors span and a direction determined by the right-hand rule. The length is calculated by multiplying the length of a by the […]

A Short Note on Components of Vectors (Horizontal & Vertical)

 Vectors are magnitude and direction geometrical elements. A vector’s magnitude is represented by its length, which is shown as a line with an arrow pointing in the direction of the vector. As a result, vectors have both beginning and ending points and are represented by arrows. The notion of vectors evolved over a 200-year span.

A Short Note on Components of a Vector

The components of a vector aid in the division of a given vector into parts that are oriented in different directions. It is sometimes necessary to divide a vector into its constituent parts in order to facilitate the execution of numerous arithmetic operations involving vectors. When a vector has components, each component represents a portion

A Short Note on Addition of Vectors

The term “vector addition” refers to the joining of two or more vectors. When we add vectors, we are combining two or more vectors together using the addition operation in order to get a new vector that is equal to the sum of the previous vectors. Vector addition has applications in the physical sciences, where

A Brief Note on Vector or Cross Product

Vectors are objects in mathematics that have both magnitude and direction. The size of the vector is defined by its magnitude. It is represented by a line with an arrow, where the length of the line represents the magnitude of the vector and the direction is indicated by the arrow. If two vectors have the

A Brief Note on Examples of Vector

 Geometrical entities with magnitude and direction are known as vectors. A vector is represented as a line with an arrow pointing in the direction of the vector, and the length of the vector denotes its magnitude. Vectors are therefore represented by arrows and have both beginning and terminal locations. The notion of vectors evolved over

Addition of Vectors

The vector is the quantity that combines the duo- magnitude and direction. Vectors are depicted by the direct pointed line in which the length shows the vector and magnitude, and the orientation shows the direction of the vector. The addition of vectors cannot be done directly; their summing is not as easy as the addition of

Addition Formulae of Vectors

The term “addition” refers to the joining of two or more vectors. We add two or more vectors together by utilising the addition operation to create a new vector that is equal to the sum of the two or more vectors that were previously added. Vector addition has applications in the physical sciences, where vectors

A Brief Note on Co-Initial Vectors

As stated in algebra, coinitial vectors are any two or more vectors whose initial points are the same, that is, they all begin at the same place. Parallel vectors may or may not exist between co starting vectors. Depending on the direction of the vectors, they can be intersecting vectors or parallel vectors, and vice
