In a plane, each vector has only one orthogonal vector (well, two, if you count the negative of one of them). Are you sure you don't mean the normal vector which is orthogonal but outside the plane (in fact, orthogonal to the plane itself)?

How to find orthogonal vector?

Given one vector a, any vector that satisfies a.b=0 is orthogonal to it. That is a set of vectors defining a plane orthogonal to the original vector.The set of vectors defines a plane to which the original vector a is the 'normal'.


What is complainer vector?

Coplanar vectors are vectors lying in the same plane.


A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?

The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.


What is coplanar vector?

In geometry a vector is used to make the equations easier to understand and to figure out. Velocity and force are examples of vectors. For a vector to be coplanar there must be two or more and they must be linearly dependent. Coplanar vectors have proportional components and their rank is 2.


Under what condition the sum of three vectors will be zero?

Three vectors sum to zero under the condition that they are coplanar (lie in a common plane) and form a triangle. If the vectors are not coplanar, they will not sum to zero. Another way of looking at it is that the sum is zero if any vector is exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the vector sum (so-called resultant) of the remaining two.


What is the definition of orthogonal signal space?

Orthogonal signal space is defined as the set of orthogonal functions, which are complete. In orthogonal vector space any vector can be represented by orthogonal vectors provided they are complete.Thus, in similar manner any signal can be represented by a set of orthogonal functions which are complete.


How do you name the direction of a vector?

The direction of a vector is defined in terms of its components along a set of orthogonal vectors (the coordinate axes).


How can four non coplanar vectors give a resultant zero?

Easy, the fourth vector (D) be opposite the sum of the other three non-coplanar vectors (A , B, C). 0=A + B + C + D where D = -(A + B + C).


When do you get a magnitude of 0 in vector?

The magnitude of a vector is 0 if the magnitude is given to be 0.The magnitude of the resultant of several vectors in n-dimensional space is 0 if and only if the components of the vectors sum to 0 in each of a sewt of n orthogonal directions.


What is the purpose of vector resolution in adding vectors?

Vector addition does not follow the familiar rules of addition as applied to addition of numbers. However, if vectors are resolved into their components, the rules of addition do apply for these components. There is a further advantage when vectors are resolved along orthogonal (mutually perpendicular) directions. A vector has no effect in a direction perpendicular to its own direction.


The sum of two or more vectors is called a what vector?

A resultant Vector.


He vector sum of three vectors gives a zero resultant what can be orientation of the vectors?

The orientation of the three vectors that sum to zero must be coplanar, contained in the same common plane, including being contained in a common line in a plane.
