NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 10 Vector Algebra (Ex 10.1) Exercise 10.1

1. Represent graphically a displacement of 40 km,  East of North.

 

Ans. Displacement 40 km,  East of North 

 Displacement vector  (say) such that  = 40 km (given) and vector  makes an angle  with North in East-North quadrant.

2. Check the following measures as scalars and vectors:

 

(i) 10 kg
(ii) 2 meters north-west
(iii) 
(iv) 40 Watt
(v)  coulombs
(vi) 20 m/sec2

 

Ans. (i) 10 kg is a measure of mass, it has no direction, it is magnitude only and therefore it is a scalar. 

(ii) 2 meters North-West is a measure of displacement. It has magnitude and direction both and hence it is a vector.

(iii)  is a measure of angle or temperature. It has no direction, it has magnitude only. Therefore it is a scalar.

(iv) 40 Watt is a measure of power or Rate of electricity. It has no direction, only magnitude and therefore, it is a scalar.

(v)  coulombs is a measure of electric charge and it has magnitude only, therefore, it is a scalar.

(vi) 20 m/sec2 is a measure of acceleration. It is a measure of rate of change of velocity, therefore, it is a vector.

3. Classify the following as scalar and vector quantities:

 

(i) time period
(ii) distance
(iii) force
(iv) velocity
(v) work done

 

Ans. (i) Time-scalar
(ii) Distance-scalar
(iii) Force-vector
(iv) Velocity-vector
(v) Work done-scalar 

4. In the adjoining figure, (a square) identify the following vectors:

 

(i) Co-initial
(ii) Equal
(iii) Collinear but not equal

 

Ans. (i)  and  have same initial point and therefore co-initial vectors. 

(ii)  and  have same direction and same magnitude. Therefore  and  are equal vectors.

(iii)  and  have parallel support, so that they are collinear. Since they have opposite directions, they are not equal. Hence  and  are collinear but not equal.

5. Answer the following as true or false:

 

(i)  and  are collinear.
(ii) Two collinear vectors are always equal in magnitude.
(iii) Two vectors having same magnitude are collinear.
(iv) Two collinear vectors having the same magnitude are equal.

 

Ans. (i) True. 

(ii) False. [ and  are collinear vectors but  ]

(iii) False. [ but  and  are vectors along axis (OX) and axis (OY) respectively]

(iv) False. [ Vectors  and  are collinear vectors and  but we know that  because their directions are opposite.]
