Vector Quantities

Any measurable quantity is called physical quantity.Physical quantity is classified into two types-vectors and scalers.
Here in this blog we are going to discuss about definition of vector quantities.Here some examples to understand vector quantities better.Before that what is vector? Mathematically, a vector is a quantity, defined by both magnitude and direction.Try to learn more about define vector concept.
The motion of the coins on a carom board is two-dimensional.
Similarly when a spacecraft moves in space the motion will be three-dimensional. Here the concept of direction becomes more primal.
Now there is a need to define a quantity, which has both magnitude and direction.
Such quantities are referred to as vectors or vector quantities.
Velocity, acceleration, weight, force, momentum, etc., are vectors.
Here is the representation of vector and types of vector-
A vector is represented by a straight line with an arrowhead.
The length of the line is equal to or proportional to the magnitude of the vector & the arrowhead shows the direction
Types of vector-
collinear vectors, unit vectors, co-initial vectors, negative vectors, zero or null vectors, position vectors
These are all types of vector.Next time we will learn more about this concept.Also to know more about this kind of maths concept see math online help.
