5X Introduction to vectors

Front

True or False: Equal vectors have the same magnitude but different direction.

Back

False

Front

What is the direction of a vector?

Back

The direction of the vector is from its tail to its head.

Front

Write in component form: What is the component form of the vector with a magnitude of 8 in the x-direction and 2 in the y-direction?

Back

<8, 2>

Front

Vector OP is an example of a:

Back

Position vector.

Front

True or False: Vectors that have the same direction are known as Equal vectors.

Back

False

Front

What defines equal vectors?

Back

Equal vectors have the same magnitude and direction.

Front

What is a position vector?

Back

A position vector represents the position of a point in space relative to an origin.

Front

What are collinear vectors?

Back

Collinear vectors are vectors that lie along the same line.

Front

How do you add two vectors graphically?

Back

Place the tail of the second vector at the head of the first vector.

Front

What is the magnitude of a vector?

Back

The magnitude of a vector is its length, representing the quantity it describes.
