- #1A vector is not changed if
-(a) it is rotated through an arbitrary angle
(b) it is multiplied by an arbitrary scalar
(c) it is cross multiplied by a unit vector
(d) it is slid parallel to itself.digAnsr: dAns : (d) it is slid parallel to itself.
A vector is defined by its magnitude and direction. If we slide it to a parallel position to itself, then none of the given parameters, which define the vector, will change.
Let the magnitude of a displacement vector (`` \stackrel{\to }{A}``) directed towards the north be 5 metres. If we slide it parallel to itself, then the direction and magnitude will not change.
