Approach Solution -2

In physics, a zero vector has physical relevance since actions on it produce a vector. There is no physical relevance to the null vector, despite the fact that it serves as the necessary additive inverse and is hence necessary for vector algebra. Actually, it has no clear direction. It is physically impossible for the direction of a force applied by a man at 0 N to have any impact.

Concepts Used:

Vector Algebra

A vector is an object which has both magnitudes and direction. It is usually represented by an arrow which shows the direction(→) and its length shows the magnitude. The arrow which indicates the vector has an arrowhead and its opposite end is the tail. It is denoted as

The magnitude of the vector is represented as |V|. Two vectors are said to be equal if they have equal magnitudes and equal direction.

Vector Algebra Operations:

Arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication on vectors. However, in the case of multiplication, vectors have two terminologies, such as dot product and cross product.
