    VECTORS

    A vector is something which has magnitude and direction.

    For example, Speed is a scalar because it is just a number without direction.

    Velocity is always in a certain direction, so it is a vector.

    At an abstract level, a Vector is an ordered sequence of numbers.

    For example: (4, 5, 7) is a vector, as is (5, 9, 8 1, 2).

    Have a look at: vector: Definition, Synonyms and Much More from Answers.com


    1. A quantity, such as velocity, completely specified by a magnitude and a direction.
    2. A one-dimensional array.
    3. An element of a vector space.
