The vector \(-\vec{A}\) is:

1. greater than \(\vec{A}\) in magnitude
2. less than \(\vec{A}\) in magnitude
3. in the same direction as \(\vec{A}\)
4. in the direction opposite to \(\vec{A}\)

Correct answer: in the direction opposite to \(\vec{A}\)

Solution

The negative of a vector has the same magnitude as the original vector but points in the opposite direction. So \(-\vec{A}\) is opposite to \(\vec{A}\).
