<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The magnitude of a vector may be positive even if all of its components are negative.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and the same direction. If two vectors have the same magnitude (size) and the same direction, then we call them equal to each other.
  • A negative vector is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction.
  • When vectors are added, we take into account both their magnitudes and directions.

<u>Answer:</u><u> </u>The magnitude of a vector may be positive even if all of its components are negative.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A vector has both magnitude and direction unlike a scalar which has magnitude only.

A vector can be written in terms of its components:

\vec{a} = a_x\hat{i}+a_y\hat{j}+a_z\hat{k}

The magnitude of the vector is given by:

|a| =\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}

Thus, even if all the components of the vector are negative, the vector can have a positive magnitude.

The magnitude would be non-zero if one of its components is non-zero.

some of two vectors involves summation of magnitudes of of the vector components in the same direction. Two vectors having unequal magnitudes cannot have vector sum zero.

Rotating a vector about an axis passing through the tip of the vector changes the vector as the direction changes.

A scalar quantity cannot be added to a vector as it lacks the direction.

telo118 [61]

Explanation:

The tangential speed of Andrea is given by :

v=r\omega

Where

r is radius of the circular path

ω is angular speed

The merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed. Let the new distance from the center of the circular platform is r'

r' = 2r

New angular speed,

v'=r'\omega'\\\\v'=(2r)\omega\\\\v'=2r\omega\\\\v'=2v

New angular speed is twice that of the Chuck's speed.

What is the meaning of the saying "the power of a lens is 1 dioptre "​
timama [110]

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.
