Types of vector

 🕮 Types of Vector

Zero Vector (Null vector) : A vector with zero magnitude with a particular direction is called as Zero Vector.

Symbol for Zero vector : 0

Examples for zero vector:

1.Velocity vector of a particle which is at rest is a zero vector

2.The acceleration vector of particle in motion with uniform velocity is zero vector

Resultant vector : The resultant of two or more vectors is that single vector, which produces the same effect, as produced by all the vectors together.

                                              

                              a + b is a resultant vector produced by Vector a and vector b

Negative Vector :A negative vector of a given vector is a vector of the same magnitude but directed opposite to that of the given vector.

                              

Vector CD is negative vector of AB

Equal Vector: Two vectors A and B representing same physical quantity are said to be equal if and only if they have the same magnitude and direction.

Position Vector : : A vector which gives the position of a particle at a point with respect to the origin of a chosen coordinate system is called the position vector of the particle. 

Vector OA And OB are position vectors

🕮 Unit Vector

Unit Vector : A vector having unit magnitude in a given direction is called as unit vector
