There are some of the different types of vectors.

  • Null vector is a vector with zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.

  • Zero vector has no magnitude and no particular orientation.

  • Therefore, its direction is considered to be undefined or arbitrary.

  •  unit vector is vector that has magnitude equal to one.

  • Unit vectors are  commonly used in mathematics and physics to represent the axes of  coordinate system, and such as i , j and k for unit vectors along the x, y, and z axes respectively

  • Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction.

  • Some properties of equal vectors include:

  • They have the same length or magnitude.

  • They point in the same direction. 

  • They can be represented by the same vector notation or arrow.

  • They can be used the same physical quantity.

  • a vector that have the same magnitude but opposite direction with the given vector.

  • The negative of the vector A is defined as the vector that when added to A gives zero for the vector sum. 

  • That is, A  + (- A)  =  0. The vectors A and  - A have the same magnitude but point in opposite directions.
