1. A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction,

2. Parallel vectors have the same magnitude but not necessarily the same direction.

3. Equivalent vectors have the same magnitude and direction.

4. Opposite vectors have a negative magnitude.

5. A true bearing is a directed compass measurement, beginning at north and rotating clockwise.

6. The resultant vector is the vector formed by adding two vectors.

7. To subtract a vector from a given vector, add the opposite vector to the given vector.

8. To multiply two vectors, multiply their magnitudes and add their direction angles.

9. The scalar multiplication of a vector results in another vector having the same direction.

10. A child pulling a wagon with a force of 100N at 30⁰ to the horizontal is an example of a vector.
