PPT-Vectors in the Plane Section 11-A

Vectors When an object moves along a straight line its velocity can be determined by a single number that represents both magnitude and direction forward if positive and backward if negative. 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 Physics.

Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Scalars. 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. Any vector can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. v. v. x. v. y.

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). In physics, we are often concerned with the direction of an object's motions. To represent direction we need to use vectors. "John was traveling at a of 100km/h" compared to "John was traveling at
