TYPES OF FEW VECTORS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS

Physical quantities having both magnitude and direction and which follow the vector law of addition are known as vector like - velocity , acceleration , force , etc 

There are some important types of vector : 

●POLAR VECTOR : the vector associated with a linear directional effect are called polar vector , for example - force , velocity , linear momentum etc .

●AXIAL VECTOR : the vector associated with rotation about an axis are called axial vector , for example - Angular momentum , angular velocity 

●NULL VECTOR : Here magnitude is zero and initial and terminal point are co-inside , the displacement vector is null vector.

●COPLANAR AND NON-COPLANAR VECTOR : three or more vectors said to be coplanar then they are parallel to same plan.

If three or more vectors not parallel to same plan then the said to be NON-COPLANAR

●UNIT VECTOR : a vector with unit scalar magnitude is define as unit vector.
