Question

What does negative means in terms of vectors and direction (Grade 10 physics)?

Answer 1

Negative means the direction of the vector is in the opposite direction of what it was initially assumed.

For example, if we assume a force to be in the east direction. After solving the question, the force came out to be negative. Then it means that the direction of the force is actually towards west, not east.

Negative or positive sign in a vector denotes its direction.
