Chapter 3: Q2CQ (page 119)

Give a specific example of a vector, stating its magnitude, units, and direction.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Force F鈬赌 is a vector quantity with a magnitude of 50 N and directed along the positive x-direction.

Step by step solution

01

Vector

Quantities with both magnitude and direction are called vectors. A vector quantity could be displacement velocity, acceleration, or force.

02

Determine an example

We deal with force, which is a vector quantity, on a daily basis. It is impossible to characterize the force acting on a body without noting its direction. Suppose a block is being pushed by some external force F of magnitude 50 N along the positive x-direction is represented as:

Force acting on a block

Hence, force F鈬赌 is a vector quantity with a magnitude of 50 N and directed along the positive x-direction. Here, N (Newton) is the S.I. unit of force.
