Chapter 3: Q. 6 (page 77)

Can a vector have a component equal to zero and still have nonzero magnitude? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, a vector can have a given component along a line and still can have non-zero magnitude.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

We need to write can a vector have a component equal to zero and still have a non-zero magnitude. We need to explain it.

02

Step 2. Explanation

Thus, A鈫�x=0,andA鈫�y=A鈫�.

A鈫�=Ax2+Ay2.

=Ay2.

Ay.

Thus, a vector can have a given component along a line and still can have non-zero magnitude.
