Need to manipulate them without any difficulty.
Remark : a quantity defined without a direction is a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a single value that completely specified with an appropriate unit.◦ Mostly are always positive◦ Some may be positive or negative◦ Rules for ordinary arithmetic are used to
manipulate the scalar quantities.
A vector completely described by a number and appropriate units plus a direction.

Figure shows a particle travels from A to B.
The broken line is the distance traveled and it is a scalar.
The solid line is the displacement and it is a vector.
The displacement is independent of the path taken between the two points.

Equality of two vectors
If two vectors have samemagnitude and samedirection, they are equal.
They point along parallellines
It allows a vector to bemoved to a position parallelto itself.
Figure shows all of the vectors are equal.

Vector addition is different from scalar addition.
When adding vectors, their directions must be taken into account.
Units must be the same.
Graphical methods◦ Use scale drawings
Algebraic Methods◦ More convenient

Continue drawing thevectors “tip-to-tail” or“head-to-tail”.
The resultant is from theorigin of the first vector tothe end of the last vector.
Measure the length of theresultant and its angle.◦ Use the scale factor to convert
length to actual magnitude.
When you have many vectors,just keep repeating the processuntil all are included.
The resultant also same which isdrawn from the tail of the firstvector to the tip of the lastvector.

When adding the vectors, all of the vectors must have the same units.
All of the vectors must be the same type of quantity. ◦ For example, you cannot add a displacement with a
velocity.

The result of the multiplication or division of a vector by a scalar is a vector.
The magnitude of the vector is multiplied or divided by the scalar.
If the scalar is positive, the direction of the result is the same as of the original vector.
If the scalar is negative, the direction of the result is opposite that of the original vector.
