Vector: A quantity that has magnitude as well as direction is called a vector.
Different types of vectors are,
a) Zero or Null Vector: A vector whose initial and terminal points coincide, is called a zero vector (or null vector).
b) Unit vector: vector whose magnitude is unity (i.e., 1 unit) is called a unit vector.
c) Collinear Vectors: Two or more vectors are said to be collinear if they are parallel to the same line, irrespective of their magnitudes and directions.
d) Co-initial vectors:Two or more vectors having the same initial point are called coinitial vectors.
e) Negative of a Vectors: A vector whose magnitude is the same as that of a given vector, but direction is opposite to that of it, is called negative of the given vector.
f) Equal Vectors: Two vectors are said to be equal, if they have the same
magnitude and direction regardless of the positions of their initial points,
magnitude and direction regardless of the positions of their initial points,
