PPT-Section 9 – 4 Vectors

Objectives To describe vectors To solve problems that involve vector addition Vector   Any quantity with magnitude size and direction Magnitude The distance from the initial point to the terminal point. Physics. K. Allison. Engagement. If a plane and the wind are blowing in the . opposite . direction, then the plane’s velocity . will . de. crease. .. Today we will learn how we can represent events like this.. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Scalars. A . scalar. quantity . can be described by a . single number. , . with some meaningful . unit. 4 oranges. 20 miles. 5 miles/hour. 10 Joules of energy. 9 Volts . Vectors and scalars. A . scalar. quantity . In the case of vectors, we have a special vector known as the . unit vector. Unit Vector. = any vector with a length 1; direction irrelevant . Two special unit vectors we look at the most;. i. = {1, 0}. p. etra.ryrstedt@lund.se. Polhemskolan, Lund, Sweden. Nspire and . vectors. This. . year. I . used four different files to teach. my . students. . about. . vectors. I have used these files several times but every time . At the end of yesterday, we addressed the case of using the dot product to determine the angles between vectors. Similar to equations from algebra, we can talk about relationship of vectors as well. Parallel. GENETIC. . ENGINEERING. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of genetic materials which can be introduced in the host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism.. Matrices. Definition: A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or symbolic elements. In many applications, the rows of a matrix will represent individuals cases (people, items, plants, animals,...) and columns will represent attributes or characteristics. Distinguish between scalars and vectors.. Recognise quantities as either scalars or vectors.. HL: Find the resultant of perpendicular vectors.. HL: Describe how to find the resultant of two vectors.. . example:. ..  .  .  . where . are unit vectors in x, y and z directions..  . .  .  .  .  . Both, position vector of point A and point A have the same coordinates:. Vector as position vector of point A in . The line and arrow used in Ch.3 showing magnitude and direction is known as the . Graphical Representation. Used when drawing vector diagrams. When using printed materials, it is known as . Algebraic Representation. Any vector can be resized by multiplying it by a real number (scalar).. Multiplying by positive scalar changes magnitude only.. Multiplying by a negative scalar changes the magnitude and its direction.. 3D Coordinate System. Vectors in Space. Real life applications. Review from 10.1. Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction (same length and are parallel). The zero vector, denoted by 0, is a vector with zero magnitude (undefined direction). Read Chapter 1.6-1.9. Scalars and Vectors. All measurements are considered to be quantities. In physics, there are 2 types of quantities – . SCALARS. . AND . VECTORS. .. Scalar. quantities have only magnitude..
