why do we need vectors
Answers
Answer:
In physics, vectors are useful because they can visually represent position, displacement, velocity and acceleration. When drawing vectors, you often do not have enough space to draw them to the scale they are representing, so it is important to denote somewhere what scale they are being drawn at.

➡️We need of vectors because many quantities used in physics are vectors. If you try to add together vector quantities without taking into account their direction you'll get results that are incorrect.
⭕Some of the key vector quantities in physics:⭕
➡️force,
➡️ displacement,
➡️ velocity,
➡️and acceleration.
⭕An example of the importance of vector addition could be the following:⭕
➡️Two cars are involved in a collision. At the time of the collision car A was travelling at 40 mph, car B was travelling at 60 mph. Until I tell you in which directions the cars were travelling you don't know how serious the collision was.
➡️The cars could have been travelling in the same direction, in which case car B crashed into the back of car A, and the relative velocity between them was 20 mph. Or the cars could have been travelling in opposite directions, in which case it was a head on collision with a relative velocity between the cars of 100 mph!
