Question

definition of opposite vector?

Answer 1

Answer:

the vector whose magnitude may or may not be same but is of opposite direction

Explanation:

1. Vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction.
2. The Opposite vector is a vector of opposite direction.
3. Let us understand by assuming a vector named A vector.
4. suppose it points on (+ve) x axis
5. then opposite vector is -A vector , i.e vector with magnitude A but on (-ve) X axis .

Answer 2

Answer:

The vector −a is the opposite of the v vector aa. The vector −a has the same magnitude as aa but points in the opposite direction.

In other words, vector which have same magnitude but different direction.

opposite vector is also known as substracting vector.
