Parallel vectors

Back to Top

angle between them is 00, as shown in the figure below. When vectors act along the same direction, they are called parallel vectors.

Anti-parallel vectors

Back to Top

If two collinear vectors act in opposite directions, then the angle between them is 180o or p radians, as shown in the figure below.

anti parallel vectors

Vectors are said to be anti-parallel if they act in opposite directions.
