Understanding Vector Magnitude
What is Vector Magnitude?
The magnitude of a vector represents its length or size in space, regardless of its direction. It's always a positive number that tells us how far the vector extends from its starting point to its endpoint.
Formulas
• 2D Vector: |v| = √(x² + y²)
• 3D Vector: |v| = √(x² + y² + z²)
Applications
Vector magnitude calculations are essential in physics, engineering, and computer graphics for determining distances, forces, velocities, and more.
