What are the two properties that distinguish a vector from a scalar?

A
  • Size (magnitude)
  • Direction
B

A bearing between 180∘180^{\circ}180∘ and 270∘270^{\circ}270∘ corresponds to a velocity vector with a negative i\mathbf{i}i component and a negative j\mathbf{j}j component.

C

Squaring kkk in the magnitude formula means both positive and negative values (±12\pm 12±12) result in the same length.

D

The vector OA⃗\vec{OA}OA, which is the vector from the origin OOO to point AAA.
