What to Focus On
- Scalars have only magnitude.
- Vectors have both magnitude and direction.
- Vectors are represented as directed line segments.
- Unit vector has magnitude 1.
- Negative vector has opposite direction.
- Collinear vectors are parallel to same line.
- Triangle and parallelogram laws for vector addition.
- Vector addition is commutative and associative.
- Zero vector is additive identity.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Zero vector has direction because it's written as \(\vec{0}\), so it must point somewhere.
If two vectors have same magnitude, they are equal.
Vector addition follows the same path as scalar addition: just add components without considering direction sequence.
Memory Tips
Scalar vs Vector: Scalars have magnitude only; vectors have both magnitude and direction.
Zero Vector: Magnitude is zero, direction undefined.
Unit Vector: Magnitude is 1, used to show direction.
