Question

Explain in your own words what a vector is. Give an example of a vector.

Short answer

Vector is a directed line segment, with two independent properties magnitude and direction. The length of vector is the magnitude, and its direction is indicated with an arrow.

Example: $\mathbf{v}=2\mathbf{i}+3\mathbf{j}$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information  

We have to write about the vector and write an example of vector.

Step 2. Vector and Example

Vector is a quantity that has two independent properties magnitude and direction. Vector is a directed line segment, whose length is the magnitude, and its direction is indicated with an arrow.

Example:$\mathbf{v}=2\mathbf{i}+3\mathbf{j}$
