A north-east wind blowing steadily at a speed of 30 km/h has magnitude (30 km/h) and direction (bearing 225°) and the velocity of the wind is a vector. Displacement, acceleration and force are vector quantities, and we are studying the theory of vectors here because the mathematics of one type of vector can be applied to every other vector.
