Study Notes
Types of Vectors
- Vectors can be represented along a line, like displacement
- Axial vectors describe rotational effects, like angular displacement
Equal Vectors
- Equal vectors have the same magnitude and direction. Example: A=B=C
Opposite Vectors
- Opposite vectors have the same magnitude but opposite direction. Example: A = -A
- They are also sometimes called "negative vectors"
Unit Vectors
- Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1.
- They only show direction, not magnitude. Example: Â
