Vectors are lines defined by moving objects. For instance, when red is struck the line that red travels is its vector. If red were not affected by any Other forces, it would Travel at the same speed and direction to infinity. However, red may strike yellow, in which case yellow will alter the direction and speed of red, as well as moving along its own vector at an equal and opposite direction from that of red. (see Newtonian physics).
