1 . Scalar and vector quantities, Scalar quantities : Physical quantities that have only magnitude and no direction are called scalar quantities, or simply scalars., Example : man, time, speed, temperature, potential etc., Vector quantities : Physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities, or vectors., Example : Displacement, velocity, force etc., Geometrical representation of a vector, Generally, a vector is represented by a straight line with an arrow head. The length of line is equal to, or proportional to the magnitude and arrow head shows the direction, , In figure. 1 OA is a vector and are represented by the line OA. Arrow mark shows the direction., A, , O, , fig.1, , 2 . Some definitions regarding vector, (i), , Equal vectors - Two vectors are said to be equal if they have the same magnitude and same direction., , , In figure. 2 A and B are two equal vectors, A, B, , (ii), , fig. 2, Note : If a vector is displaced parallel to itself, it remains equal to itself., Negative of a vector - The negative of a vector is defined as another vector having the same magnitude, , , but having an opposite direction. In fig. 3 vector A is the negative of vector B or vice-versa., A, B =– A, , (iii), , (iv), , fig. 3, Modulus of a vector - The modulus of a vector means the length or the magnitude of that vector. It, , , is a scalar quantity. Modulus of vector A | A | A, Unit vector - A unit vector is a vector of unit magnitude drawn in the direction of a given vector., A unit vector in the direction of a given vector is found by dividing the given vector by its modulus. Thus, , a unit vector in the direction of vector A is given by, , , , A, A,  , |A| A, , , A unit vector in the direction of a given vector A is written as  and is pronounced as ‘A carat’ a, ‘A hat’ or ‘A cap’, Note : - The magnitude of a unit vector is unity. It just gives the direction of a vector. A unit vector has

(v), , no units or dimensions., Collinear vectors - Collinear vector are vectors acting along the same line. They act in the same direction, or opposite direction., Parallel vector - Two collinear vectors acting along the same direction are called parallel vectors. The, angle between the two vector must be zero. The magnitudes of two vectors need not be equal. They, are also called like vectors., , , In figure 4, a, b and c are parallel vectors., a, b, c, , fig. 4, Antiparallel vectors - Two collinear vectors acting in the opposite directions are called antiparallel the, , , angle between them is 180º. They are also called unlike vector. In figure 5. a and b are antiparallel, vectors, a, b, , fig. 5, , 3 . Addition of vectors, Triangle law of vector addition :, If two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in the, same order, then the resultant is given both in magnitude and direction by the sides of the triangle taken, , , , , in opposite order. Consider two vectors OA = a are OB = b (see in figure 6), B, , B, b, , O, , a, , A, , a+, , O, , O, , A, , b, , A, , fig.6, , , , , , To add a to b , first draw vector a , Next draw vector b with its tail at the head of a and draw a line, , , , , , , from the tail of a to the head of b . Then c = a b . a and b are in the same order,, but c is in, opposite order. We can add any number of vectors by this method., Parallelogram law of vector addition :, If two vectors acting at a point be represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a, parallelogram drawn from a point, their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal, of the parallelogram drawn from that point., , , , , Let a and b are represented by adjacent sides AB and AE of a parallelogram ABCE as shown in, figure. 7 given below., E, , C, , b, , b, , , A, , , a, , fig. 7, , B, , D
