How are vector quantities important to us in our daily life?
Answers
Answer:
DEF:-
Vector quantity is an entity that has both magnitude and direction.
1. We use vector quantities daily in our lives without us knowing we do. When they are launching an explosive, they first need the direction as to know their target and the impact it is going to cause.
2. They are used in surveying to match points on a map to points on the ground.
3. Many engineers use vectors in their calculations for electrical or mechanical designs.
4. Consider the forces acting on a boat crossing a river. The boat's motor generates a force in one direction, and the current of the river generates a force in another direction. Both forces are vectors.

Before understanding the importance of vector quantities in our everyday life, we must grasp the definition of a vector.
Vector is a quantity that has both; direction and magnitude. More often than not, it is used to find out the position of an arbitrary point in space relative to another point.
Vector quantities are important to us because:
- They assist us with the direction of a certain physical quantity. For instance, during the launch of an explosive, knowing the direction is highly essential to determine its target as well as impact.
- Vectors are also used to match points on the map to the ones on the ground.
