1. Represent a displacement of 40 km, 30° east of north graphically.
Solution:
The vector
represents the displacement of 40 km, 30o east of north.
2. Classify the following measures as scalars and vectors.
(i) 10 kg
(ii) 2 metres north-west
(iii) 40°
(iv) 40 watt
(v) 10–19 coulomb
(vi) 20 m/s2
Solution:
(i) 10 kg is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude.
(ii) 2 meters north-west is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.
(iii) 40° is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
(iv) 40 watts is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
(v) 10–19 coulomb is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
(vi) 20 m/s2Â is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.
3. Classify the following as scalar and vector quantities.
(i) time period
(ii) distance
(iii) force
(iv) velocity
(v) work done
Solution:
(i) Time period is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
(ii) Distance is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
(iii) Force is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.
(iv) Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.
(v) Work done is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
4. In the figure, identify the following vectors:
(i) Coinitial
(ii) Equal
(iii) Collinear but not equal
Solution:
directions are not the same.
5. Answer the following (True or False).
(i)Â 
 and
are collinear.
(ii) Two collinear vectors are always equal in magnitude.
(iii) Two vectors having the same magnitude are collinear.
(iv) Two collinear vectors having the same magnitude are equal.
Solution:
(i) True
Vectors
 and
are parallel to the same line.
(ii) False
Collinear vectors are those vectors that are parallel to the same line.
(iii) False
Two vectors having the same magnitude need not necessarily be parallel to the same line.
(iv) False
Only if the magnitude and direction of two vectors are the same, regardless of the positions of their initial points the two vectors are said to be equal.
Types of Vectors
