Definition: Vector
A vector is any quantity that needs both magnitude (size) and direction to be completely described.

Representation of Vector
Graphical Representation
- Vectors are drawn as arrows
- Arrow length = magnitude (size)
- Arrow direction = vector direction
- Starting point = tail
- Ending point = head/tip
Mathematical Representation
- Symbol: Vector quantities use arrows above letters: \[\vec A\], \[\vec B\], \[\vec F\]
- Magnitude: Written as |\[\vec A\]| or simply A (without arrow)

Types of Vectors
1. Zero Vector (Null Vector) \[\vec 0\]
A vector with zero magnitude can have any direction.
- Stationary car: Velocity vector = \[\vec 0\] (not moving)
- Balanced forces: When all forces cancel out, net force = \[\vec 0\]
- Round trip: If you start and end at the same point, displacement = \[\vec 0\]
2. 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.
3. Negative Vector (-\[\vec A\])
A vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction to the original vector.
- If \[\vec A\] represents "3 steps forward"
- Then -\[\vec A\] represents "3 steps backward"
Fig. 2.1: Negative vector.
4. Equal Vectors
Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and the same direction.
Equal vectors don't need to be at the same location!
Two cars are moving at 50 km/h toward Mumbai
- Even if they start from different cities, their velocity vectors are equal
- Same magnitude: 50 km/h
- Same direction: toward Mumbai
Fig. 2.2: Equal vectors.
5. Position Vector (\[\vec r\])
A vector that locates a point in space relative to a chosen origin.
Your location in a city
- Origin: City center (reference point)
- Position vector: Points from the city center to your current location
- Components: 3 km east + 2 km north of city center = \[\vec r\] = 3î + 2ĵ
Fig 2.3: Position vector.
6. Unit Vector (ûₐ)
A vector with magnitude = 1 unit that shows direction only.
Mathematical Relationship: \[\hat{u}_A=\frac{\vec{A}}{|\vec{A}|}\]
Standard Unit Vectors:
-
î: Points along x-axis (east direction)
-
ĵ: Points along y-axis (north direction)
-
k̂: Points along z-axis (up direction)
Analogy: Like a compass needle - it only shows direction, not distance.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Examples of Vector Quantities
- Displacement: 5 km northeast of the school
- Velocity: 60 km/h toward Delhi
- Force: 10 Newton downward
- Acceleration: 9.8 m/s² toward Earth's center
