प्रश्न
A vector is not changed if
विकल्प
it is rotated through an arbitrary angle
it is multiplied by an arbitrary scalar
it is cross multiplied by a unit vector
it is slid parallel to itself.
उत्तर
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 ( \[\vec{A}\] ) directed towards the north be 5 metres. If we slide it parallel to itself, then the direction and magnitude will not change.

“Politics is the art of the possible”. Similarly, “Science is the art of the soluble”. Explain this beautiful aphorism on the nature and practice of science.
India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship — in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today — among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes ?
