Card 1अदिश और सदिश राशियाँ

इन राशियों को अदिश या सदिश के रूप में वर्गीकृत करें: 5 seconds, 10 Newton, 30 km/hr, 10 g/cm³, उत्तर की ओर 20 m/s.

Answer

चरण 1: एक अदिश में केवल परिमाण होता है। एक सदिश में परिमाण और दिशा होती है। चरण 2: 5 seconds → अदिश। चरण 3: 10 Newton → सदिश। चरण 4: 30 km/hr → अदिश। चरण 5: 10 g/cm³ → अदिश। चरण 6: उत्तर की ओर 20 m/s …

Card 2Scalar and vector quantities

Classify these quantities as scalar or vector: 5 seconds, 10 Newton, 30 km/hr, 10 g/cm³, 20 m/s towards north.

Answer

Step 1: A scalar has magnitude only. A vector has magnitude and direction. Step 2: 5 seconds → scalar. Step 3: 10 Newton → vector. Step 4: 30 km/hr → scalar. Step 5: 10 g/cm³ → scalar. Step 6: 20 m/s …

Card 3Position vector magnitude

Find the magnitude of the position vector of the point P(3, 4, 12).

Answer

Use the position vector magnitude formula: |OP| = √(x² + y² + z²) Step 1: Substitute x = 3, y = 4, z = 12. Step 2: |OP| = √(3² + 4² + 12²) Step 3: |OP| = √(9 + 16 + 144) = √169 Answer: |OP| = 13 units…

Card 4स्थिति सदिश का परिमाण

बिंदु P(3, 4, 12) के स्थिति सदिश का परिमाण ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer

स्थिति सदिश के परिमाण का सूत्र उपयोग करें: |OP| = √(x² + y² + z²) चरण 1: x = 3, y = 4, z = 12 रखें। चरण 2: |OP| = √(3² + 4² + 12²) चरण 3: |OP| = √(9 + 16 + 144) = √169 उत्तर: |OP| = 13 units.

Card 5सदिश का अवयवी रूप

P(2, -5, 7) का स्थिति सदिश अवयव रूप में लिखिए और उसका परिमाण ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer

चरण 1: स्थिति सदिश है r⃗ = xî + yĵ + zk̂. चरण 2: निर्देशांक रखिए: r⃗ = 2î - 5ĵ + 7k̂. चरण 3: परिमाण है |r⃗| = √(x² + y² + z²). चरण 4: |r⃗| = √(2² + (-5)² + 7²) = √(4 + 25 + 49) = √78. उत्तर: r⃗ = 2î -…

Card 6Component form of a vector

Write the position vector of P(2, -5, 7) in component form and find its magnitude.

Answer

Step 1: Position vector is r⃗ = xî + yĵ + zk̂. Step 2: Substitute coordinates: r⃗ = 2î - 5ĵ + 7k̂. Step 3: Magnitude is |r⃗| = √(x² + y² + z²). Step 4: |r⃗| = √(2² + (-5)² + 7²) = √(4 + 25 + 49) = √78…

Card 7Unit vector

Find the unit vector in the direction of a⃗ = 2î + 3ĵ + k̂.

Answer

Step 1: Find the magnitude first. |a⃗| = √(2² + 3² + 1²) = √14 Step 2: Use â = (1/|a⃗|)a⃗. Step 3: â = (1/√14)(2î + 3ĵ + k̂) Step 4: Write each component separately. Answer: â = (2/√14)î + (3/√14)ĵ + …

Card 8एकक सदिश

a⃗ = 2î + 3ĵ + k̂ की दिशा में एकक सदिश ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer

चरण 1: पहले परिमाण ज्ञात कीजिए। |a⃗| = √(2² + 3² + 1²) = √14 चरण 2: â = (1/|a⃗|)a⃗ का उपयोग कीजिए। चरण 3: â = (1/√14)(2î + 3ĵ + k̂) चरण 4: प्रत्येक अवयव अलग-अलग लिखिए। उत्तर: â = (2/√14)î + (3/√14)ĵ +…
