Question 1

Vectors

Answer 1

• Vectors have a magnitude and direction, which differs to scalar quantities which only have magnitude
• You can add or subtract vector quantities by representing them as arrows and joining them tail to head.

Question 2

Answer 2

• Vectors are not generally tied to an origin
• This can lead to vectors with the same strength and direction but not being in the same direction in a graph of vectors.
