Question:
What are polar vector and axial vectors
Answer:
Polar vectors- Vectors which have a starting point or a point of application are called polar vectors.
These vectors are used to describe translational motion.
Eg.- Displacement, force, Linear acceleration etc.
Axial vectors- vectors which represent rotational effect and act along the axis of rotation in accordance with right hand rule are called axial vectors.
These vectors are also called pseudo vectors.
Eg.- Angular velocity, angular momentum, torque etc.
