vector sum in a sentence

Examples

1. In Newtonian mechanics, an object's acceleration can be found as the vector sum of the acceleration due to each of the individual forces acting on it.
2. That means that the magnetization is now tipped by an effective magnetic field B eff, which originates from the vector sum of B 1 and B 0.
3. But in the second case This force is the vector sum of many normal forces, and a friction force must be calculated for each one of them.
4. For polyatomic molecules there is more than one bond, and the total molecular dipole moment may be approximated as the vector sum of individual bond dipole moments.
5. From the above vector sums, it can be seen that contravariant coordinates are associated with covariant basis vectors, and covariant coordinates are associated with contravariant basis vectors.
6. A clamp meter measures the vector sum of the currents flowing in all the conductors passing through the probe, which depends on the phase relationship of the currents.
7. In this case, the ratio of their strengths is constant, so the direction of the electric vector ( the vector sum of these two components ) is constant.
8. The compass needle responds to the vector sum of the two fields, and deflects to an angle equal to the tangent of the ratio of the two fields.
9. Ground fault indicators for ungrounded systems sense the vector sum of the current and look for an imbalance indicating a fault on one or more of the three phases.
