What to Focus On

  • A vector has both magnitude and direction.
  • A scalar has only magnitude.
  • Zero vector is denoted by 0⃗.
  • Position vector gives the location of a point from the origin.
  • |OP⃗| = √(x² + y² + z²).
  • r⃗ = xî + yĵ + zk̂.
  • Triangle law: AC⃗ = AB⃗ + BC⃗.
  • Sides of a triangle taken in order give zero resultant.
  • Parallelogram law uses the diagonal as resultant.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A quantity with a numerical value is always a vector.

The zero vector has a fixed direction like other vectors.

Direction ratios and direction cosines are the same thing.

Memory Tips

Vector means magnitude with direction

Scalar quantities need only magnitude

Zero vector

Unit vector
