A scalar quantity is one that:
1. | is conserved in a process. |
2. | will never accept negative values. |
3. | must be dimensionless. |
4. | has the same value for observers with different orientations of axes. |
If →a is a vector and x is a non-zero scalar, then which of the following is correct?
1. | x→a is a vector in the direction of →a. |
2. | x→a is a vector collinear to →a. |
3. | x→a and →a have independent directions. |
4. | x→a is a vector perpendicular to →a. |
If →A=2ˆi+4ˆj−5ˆk, then the direction cosines of the vector are:
(direction cosines (or directional cosines) of a vector are the cosines of the angles between the vector and the three +ve coordinate axes.)
