Worked practice questions

Several force vectors all lie along the same straight line. What name is given to vectors like these?

  1. Co-linear vectors
  2. Component vectors
  3. Resultant vectors
  4. Independent vectors
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Co-linear vectors

1. Vectors that are parallel can be shifted so that they fall on a single line. 2. Vectors falling on the same line are called co-linear vectors. 3. A resultant is the single vector that replaces a whole group, so that word names the answer to the addition, not the group itself. 4. Components are the parts a single vector is broken into, which is the opposite operation. _Source: Siyavula Physical Sciences Grade 11 (Everything Science, CC BY 4.0), Chapter 1: Vectors in two dimensions_
