1. Vector Quantity
Vector Algebra
A quantity which has magnitude & also a direction in space is called a vector
quantity.

2. Position Vector

Let O be the origin & P be a point in space having coordinates (x, y, z) with
respect to the origin O. Then the vector is called the position vector of
the point P with respect to O.

The angles made by with positive direction of x, y & z-axes (say ⍺, β & γ
respectively) are called its direction angles, and the cosine value of these
angles
i.e., cos ⍺, cos β & cos γ are called direction cosines of , denoted by l, m
& n respectively.
3. Types of Vectors
Vector Algebra
1. Zero Vector: A vector whose initial and terminal
4. Addition of Vector
points coincide, is called a zero vector (or null
vector) denoted as It has zero magnitude

2. Unit Vector: A vector whose magnitude is unity


(i.e., 1 unit) is called unit vector. The unit vector in
the direction of is denoted as.

3. Coinitial Vectors: Two or more vectors having the


same initial point are called coinitial vectors.

4. Collinear Vectors: Two or more vectors are called


collinear, if they are parallel to the same line,
irrespective of their magnitude.

5. Equal Vectors: Two vectors are said to be equal, if


they have same magnitude & direction regardless
of the position of their initial points.

6. Negative of a vector: A vector whose magnitude is


the same as that of the given vector, but the
direction is opposite to that of t, is called negative
of the given vector.
5. Multiplication of a Vector by a Scalar
Vector Algebra
6. Component of Vector
7. Vector Joining two Points
Vector Algebra

8. Section Formulae 9. Scalar (or dot) Product of two Vectors


11. Vector (or Cross) Product of two Vectors
Vector Algebra

10. Projection of Vector Along a Directed Line
