    Vectors are needed to study 2D or 3D motion because physical quantities like position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration have directional aspects in multi-dimensional motion that cannot be described with just plus and minus signs as in one dimension. Vectors allow the direction of these quantities to be fully represented when an object can move in multiple directions within a plane or space, unlike the single dimension of a straight line where only two directions are possible.

    Q:1 EXPLAIN WHY CONCEPT OF VECTORS IS NEEDED TO STUDY 2D OR 3D MOTION?

    The concepts of position, displacement, velocity and acceleration were needed to describe the motion of an object along a straight line (Previous chapter). We found that the directional aspect of these quantities can be taken care of by + and signs, as in one dimension only two directions are possible. But in order to describe motion of an object in two dimensions (a plane) or three dimensions (space), we need to use vectors to describe the above- mentioned physical quantities as there are several possible directions in such motion.
