Question

Two vectors pointing right starting at the same position. Vector A is on top and longer. Vector B is shorter and below.

Are the two displacements equal? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The displacements are not equal. While their direction is the same, their length (i.e., distance or magnitude) is not. A is longer than B.

Answer 2

they are not equal

Step-by-step explanation:

A physical quantity which can be described completely by their magnitude as well as direction are called vectors. For example, displacement, velocity, etc.

A vector quantity is represented by a line having an arrow.

the length of the arrow gives the magnitude of the physical quantity and the direction of arrow gives the direction of this vector quantity.

As Vector A is longer than vector b, it means the magnitude of vector A is more than the magnitude of vector B.

thse are not equal displacements.
