Define a negative vector.
Think about direction and magnitude.
If vector A has a magnitude of 10, what is the magnitude of -A?
Remember, only the direction changes.
What is a negative vector?
Focus on the definition components.
True or False: Negative vectors can cancel each other out when added.
Think about forces acting in opposite directions.
Vector A has coordinates (3, 4). Determine the coordinates of -A and explain its significance in terms of direction.
Think about how each coordinate reflects direction.
If two vectors A = 6i + 8j and B = -6i - 8j act on an object, what is the resultant vector and its significance?
