7. Vectors
Sign In
Recall the types of vectors.
Sometimes
Let's begin with recalling the types of vectors.
Type | Direction | Magnitude |
---|---|---|
Parallel Vectors | same or opposite | not necessarily |
Opposite Vectors | opposite | same |
Equivalent Vectors | same | same |
We are asked to determine if parallel vectors are sometimes, always, or never opposite vectors. From the table, we can see that parallel vectors can have opposite direction and the same magnitude but not necessarily. Therefore, parallel vectors are sometimes opposite vectors.
