MCQ
The relation between the vectors $A$ and $-2A$ is that,
- ABoth have same magnitude.
- BBoth have same direction.
- ✓They have opposite directions.
- DNone of the above.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
They have opposite directions.
Multiplying a vector $A$ by a negative number $\lambda$ gives a vector $\lambda\text{A},$ whose directions opposite to the direction of $A$ and it's magnitude is $-\lambda$ times $|A|.$
