Equal vectors have:

Equal vectors have: Correct Answer Equal magnitude and directions

Concept:

  • Scalar quantities: The physical quantities which have only magnitude and no direction are called scalar quantities or scalars.
    • A scalar quantity can be specified by a single number, along with the proper unit.
    • Examples: Mass, volume, density, time, temperature, electric current, Luminious intensity, etc.
  • Vector quantities: The physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction and obey the laws of vector addition are called vector quantities or vectors.
    • A vector quantity is specified by a number with a unit and its direction.
    • Examples Displacement, velocity, force, momentum, etc.

Explanation:

  • Equal vectors can start at different positions.
  • Two vectors are equal if they are of the same length and direction (magnitude).
  • A vector zero is a vector when the vector's magnitude is zero and the vector's starting point coincides with the terminal point.
  • When two vectors are the same in magnitude but in the direction, exactly opposite then both vectors are negative to each other.
  • Two or more vectors, with equal magnitude and the same direction, are said to be equal vectors.
