61Unit vector — In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector (often a spatial vector) whose length is 1 (the unit length). A unit vector is often denoted by a lowercase letter with a hat , like this: (pronounced i hat ). In Euclidean space …
62Foucault Pendulum vector diagrams — Several vector diagrams are often used to demonstrate the physics underlying the Foucault pendulum.Diagrams are provided to illustrate a pendulum located at the North Pole, equator, and 45 degrees N to show how the rotation of Earth in relation… …

64Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector — Throughout this article, vectors and their magnitudes are indicated by boldface and italic type, respectively; for example, left| mathbf{A} ight| = A. In classical mechanics, the Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector (or simply the LRL vector) is a vector… …
65The vector of a quaternion — In the 19th century, the vector of a quaternion written Vq was a well defined mathematical entity in the classical quaternion notation system. This article is written using classical nomenclature. In this article the word vector means the… …
66Distance-vector routing protocol — In computer communication theory relating to packet switched networks, a distance vector routing protocol is one of the two major classes of routing protocols, the other major class being the link state protocol. Distance vector routing protocols …
67position vector — ▪ mechanics straight line having one end fixed to a body and the other end attached to a moving point and used to describe the position of the point relative to the body. As the point moves, the position vector will change in length or in… …
68Poynting vector — In physics, the Poynting vector can be thought of as representing the energy flux (in W/m2) of an electromagnetic field. It is named after its inventor John Henry Poynting. Oliver Heaviside independently co discovered the Poynting vector. In… …
69Wave vector — A wave vector is a vector representation of a wave. The wave vector has magnitude indicating wavenumber (reciprocal of wavelength), and the direction of the vector indicates the direction of wave propagation.The wave vector is most useful for… …
70Burgers vector — The Burgers vector, often denoted by b, is a vector that represents the magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion of dislocation in a crystal lattice. [Callister, William D. Jr. Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering. John… …
