Drawing A Vector

Remember displacement is the distance away from your initial position, it does not account for the actual distance you moved

A vector is always drawn with an arrow at the tip indicating the direction, and the length of the line determines the magnitude.

Intro to Vectors

Slide 6 / 159

Determining magnitude and direction

anti-parallel

All of these vectors have the same magnitude, but vector B runs anti-parallel therefore it is denoted negative A.
