What is a unit vector?

Physics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A unit vector is (D) a vector with a magnitude of one

Explanation:

<u>Unit Vector Information:</u>

A unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of one. Vectors of different magnitudes can be scaled off the unit vector. Also, they can be used in two, three, or more dimensions.

<u>Other Answers:</u>

A. a vector with all three directions or  dimensions that are given

This is the definition of a 3D vector. This is a line segment in three-dimensional space running from point A (tail) to point B (head). Each vector has a magnitude (or length) and direction.

B. a vector with only one dimension

This is the definition of an one-dimensional vector. This type of vector has no dimension, but a number of components, therefore it behaves like a real number.

C. a vector that has an x and y components that  are equal in magnitude

(Unsure, I believe this would be defined as an equal vector. Correct me if I'm wrong and I will edit it.)

I hope this helps!

The average velocity of an object over 6.0 seconds interval is 2 m/s what is the total distance traveled and M by the object doi
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 12 m</h2>

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

distance = velocity × time

From the question we have

distance = 2 × 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a poi
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Determine the projection (magnitude and sign), or component, of vector v1 along the direction of vector v2. Your answer could be
professor190 [17]

Answer:

- 1.07 ft

Explanation:

V1 = (-5, 7, 2)

V2 = (3, 1, 2)

Projection of v1 along v2, we use the following formula

=\frac{\overrightarrow{V1}.\overrightarrow{V2}}{V2}

So, the dot product of V1 and V2 is = - 5 (3) + 7 (1) + 2 (2) = -15 + 7 + 4 = -4

The magnitude of vector V2 is given by

= \sqrt{3^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}}=3.74

So, the projection of V1 along V2 = - 4 / 3.74 = - 1.07 ft

Thus, the projection of V1 along V2 is - 1.07 ft.

so we need to find the direction of v2

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera
pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s
