Is a number with units It can be positive or negative Example distance mass speed Temperature Chapter 3 VECTORS 32 Vectors and Scalars Scalar Is a quantity with both direction. 1 Motivation A3 A2 Vectors A3 A21 Notational Conventions A4 A22 Visualization A5 A23 Special Vectors A5 A3 Vector Operations A5 A31 Transposition A6 A32 Equality A6 A33 Addition and Subtraction Math 185 Vectors d) neither, because it is a direction only (Careful! You might think that the 15 A.S. 1.3.1 – 1.3.4. Scalar Quantities. Those values, measured or coefficients, that are complete when reported with only a magnitude. Examples:. . the table is 2.5 m long. . He ran the 100. m race in 12.65 s.. 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. 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 . Any vector can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. v. v. x. v. y. A Helicopter is traveling . above a highway at . 29m/s at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to flat ground.. . How fast would a sports car have to travel to stay beneath the helicopter?. 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.. Motivating Question. : An Airplane flies north with an airspeed of 575 mph. If the wind is blowing 30° north of east at 50 mph, what is the speed of the plane as measured from the ground? What if the wind blew south of west?. . 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 . Vectors, Shmectors. Objectives. 1. Distinguish between a scalar and a vector.. 2. Add and subtract vectors by using the graphical method.. 3. Multiply and divide vectors by scalars.. Vectors, Schmectors. 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). Chapter 3 pg. . 81-105. What do you think?. How are measurements such as mass and volume different from measurements such as velocity and acceleration?. How can you add two velocities that are in different directions?. Examples should include: . velocity/speed, mass, force/weight, acceleration, displacement/distance. . Addition of vectors by calculation or scale drawing. . Calculations will be limited to two vectors at right angles. Scale drawings may involve vectors at angles other than .
