Question

refer to the vectors m through t at the right.
name all pairs of vectors that are opposites.
choose the correct answer below.
a. m and p; m and q; n and s; o and t
b. m and q; p and q; n and s; r and s
c. m and p; p and q; n and r; o and t
d. m and q; n and r; r and s; n and s

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of opposite vectors

Opposite vectors have the same magnitude but opposite directions.

Step2: Analyze each pair

• m and q: Same magnitude, opposite directions.
• n and s: Same magnitude, opposite directions.
• p and q: Incorrect as p and q are not opposites (p and m are not same - magnitude in the way of being opposites as per the problem's vector - pair logic).
• m and p: Incorrect as they are not opposites.
• n and r: Incorrect as they are in the same direction.
• o and t: Incorrect as they are not same - magnitude and opposite - direction pair.

Answer:

B. m and q; n and s
