Group of answer choices No, vectors have direction and scalars do not. No, scalars have direction but vectors are just a magnitude. Yes, as long as the units are the same. Yes, but only every other Tuesday.arrow_forward

Even though two vectors have unequal magnitudes, it is possible that their vector sum is zero. OC. Rotating a vector about an axis passing through the tip of the vector does not change the vector. OD. The magnitude of a vector is independent of the coordinate system used. O E. The magnitude of a vector can be zero even though one of its components is not zero.arrow_forwardQ14arrow_forward
