Fórmula
Vector Magnitude
Formula
For 2D vectors (z = 0): A unit vector has magnitude 1 and points in the same direction: v_hat = v /v = sqrt(x² + y² + z²) v = sqrt(x² + y²) Unit Vector
v = (x/ v , y/ v , z/ v
Direction (2D)
The angle from the positive x-axis: theta = arctan(y/x)
Ejemplo Resuelto
Find the magnitude and unit vector of (3, 4, 0).
- 01|v| = √(9 + 16 + 0) = √25 = 5
- 02Unit vector = (3/5, 4/5, 0) = (0.6, 0.8, 0)
- 03Direction = arctan(4/3) ≈ 53.13°
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is vector magnitude?
The magnitude (or length) of a vector is the distance from the origin to the point it represents. It is always non-negative.
What is a unit vector?
A unit vector has a magnitude of exactly 1. It indicates direction only. Any nonzero vector can be normalized to a unit vector by dividing by its magnitude.
How do I find the distance between two points?
Form a vector from one point to the other by subtracting coordinates, then find the magnitude. distance = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²).
