What is a vector?

A vector is an object that has both a magnitude and a direction. ... Two examples of vectors
are those that represent force and velocity. Both force and velocity are in a particular direction.
The magnitude of the vector would indicate the strength of the force or the speed associated
with the velocity.

Distinguish between vector and scalar quantities?


A quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity
that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

How do you add vectors that are in (a) the same direction? (b) Opposite directions?
A. In this case, the resultant vector will be the sum of the forces acting on the two
boxes, i.e., the boxes' weight, which will be equal and opposite to the weight of the
beam. In this case, the resultant vector will be the sum of two forces as both are
parallel and pointing in the same direction.
B. R = A + B. Vectors in the opposite directio are subtracted from each other to obtain
the resultant vector. Here the vector B is opposite in direction to the vector A, and R
is the resultant vector.

What are the steps involved in finding the components of a given vector?

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction and to identify the components of vector,
you need to break it into parts called components. These components depict the influence of that vector
in a given direction. For example, in the vector (6, 2), the horizontal or x-axis component is 6 and the
vertical or y-axis component is 2. With this, you have an angle and a magnitude to define a vector,
where you have to find the components yourself with the help of trigonometry. The magnitude of
vector is expressed as v and by multiplying both sides of these equations by v, you can expressed the x
and y components as Vx = vcos and Vy = vsin.

The combined influence of the two components is equivalent to the influence of the single two-
dimensional vector and this single two-dimensional vector could be replaced by the two components.
