Let $u$ and $v$ be two vectors in a plane. Then any vector $w$ in the plane can be written as $w = au + bv$ for some scalars $a$ and $b$ if and only if

Classify the following as scalar or vector quantity:
distance

If the vectors represented by the sides $AB$ and $BC$ of the regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ are $a$ and $b$ respectively,then the vector represented by $\overrightarrow{AE}$ will be

The position vectors of the points $A, B, C$ are $(2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}), (3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k})$ and $(\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-3\hat{k})$ respectively. These points

Let $\overrightarrow{OA} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{OB} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$,and $\overrightarrow{OC} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$ be the position vectors of three points $A$,$B$,and $C$. Let $P$ be the point which divides $AB$ in the ratio $2:1$. If $l, m, n$ are the direction cosines of the vector $\overrightarrow{PC}$,then $l + 3m + 2n =$

Let $u$ and $v$ be non-collinear vectors in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $w$ be the orthogonal projection vector of $u$ on $v$. Consider two statements:
$(i)$ Any vector in $\mathbb{R}^2$ can be written as a linear combination of $u$ and $v$.
(ii) $w$ can be written as a linear combination of $u$ and $v$ as $w = au + bv$,where both $a$ and $b$ are non-zero real numbers.
