When should you express a vector along the x-axis as a negative vector?

when its magnitude is less than 1

when the arrow representing the vector would point toward positive x

when the arrow representing the vector would point toward negative x

when its magnitude is greater than 1

What do u think the answer is ?

ayonnaleflore · Answer

when its magnitude is less than 1

rushwr · Answer

Since it is about the direction when it comes to a vector the magnitude doesn't play a major role.

rushwr · Answer

Just imagine if the magnitude was 0.5 still it's gona be on the positive side right?

ayonnaleflore · Answer

yes
so since magnitude doesn't apply the answer would be when the arrow representing the vector would point toward negative x

rushwr · Answer

Yes that's right :)

okay thank you so much

rushwr · Answer

No problem :)
