Projectile Motion (Vector Quantities)

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the truth of various statements related to vector quantities and projectile motion. The participant provides answers to six statements, affirming that single vectors can be represented as pairs of components, that vector quantities are not described by magnitude alone, and that velocity is indeed a vector quantity. There is consensus among participants that the answers are correct, with a note that some scalar quantities may also require direction for complete information in specific contexts. Overall, the discussion confirms the understanding of vector and scalar properties in physics.

Homework Statement


Determine whether each statement below is True or False.
1. T/F Single vectors may be represented as pairs of vector components.
2. T/F Vector quantities are completely described by magnitude only.
3. T/F A scalar quantity requires both magnitude and direction for a complete description.
4. T/F Vector quantities are graphically represented using arrows.
5. T/F As the angle between the ground and a vector increases, the vertical component of the vector increases.

ya.Everything's right.
but some scalars require direction also for complete information.For eg:current produces magnetic field but it's direction can only be determined if u know the direction of current.
