Question

Which vector has a greater magnitude?

Answer 1

Given:

Length of first vector = 2 meters

Length of second vector = 4 meters

To find:

The vector which has a greater magnitude.

Solution:

We know that, magnitude of a vector represents the length of it.

The first vector that is 2 meters long has a magnitude 2.

The second vector that is 4 meters long has a magnitude 4.

Clearly, 4 is greater that 2, i.e., 4 > 2. So, magnitude of second vector is greater.

Therefore, the vector that is 4 meters long has greater magnitude.
