A vector is a mathematical tool for representing the direction and magnitude of some force. You may occasionally need to find a vector that is perpendicular, in two-dimensional space, to a given vector. This is a fairly simple matter of treating the vector as a line segment and finding the negative reciprocal of that line segment. | A vector is a mathematical tool for representing the direction and magnitude of some force.
