NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about vector components and their properties is correct?
A vector can be uniquely defined by its components along the axes of a rectangular coordinate system.
The components of a vector can only be positive values regardless of the angle it makes with the axes.
A unit vector has a magnitude greater than one and specifies direction.
The x- and y- components of a vector are always equal in magnitude.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A vector can indeed be represented uniquely by its components along the x- and y- axes, as stated in the NCERT context. The components can vary in sign based on the angle, and unit vectors have a magnitude of one, not greater.
