TAILIEUCHUNG - Chapter 3: Vectors

In Physics we have parameters that can be completely described by a number and are known as “scalars” .Temperature, and mass are such parameters Other physical parameters require additional information about direction and are known as “vectors” . Examples of vectors are displacement, velocity and acceleration. | Chapter 3 Vectors In Physics we have parameters that can be completely described by a number and are known as “scalars” .Temperature, and mass are such parameters Other physical parameters require additional information about direction and are known as “vectors” . Examples of vectors are displacement, velocity and acceleration. In this chapter we learn the basic mathematical language to describe vectors. In particular we will learn the following: Geometric vector addition and subtraction Resolving a vector into its components The notion of a unit vector Add and subtract vectors by components Multiplication of a vector by a scalar The scalar (dot) product of two vectors The vector (cross) product of two vectors (3-1) An example of a vector is the displacement vector which describes the change in position of an object as it moves from point A to point B. This is represented by an arrow that points from point A to point B. The length of the arrow is proportional to the displacement magnitude. The direction of the arrow indicated the displacement direction. The three arrows from A to B, from A' to B', and from A'' to B'', have the same magnitude and direction. A vector can be shifted without changing its value if its length and direction are not changed. In books vectors are written in two ways: Method 1: (using an arrow above) Method 2: a (using bold face print) The magnitude of the vector is indicated by italic print: a (3-2) Geometric vector Addition (3-3) Geometric vector Subtraction Note: We can add and subtract vectors using the method of components. For many applications this is a more convenient method (3-4) A B C (3-5) Unit Vectors (3-6) x O y Adding Vectors by Components (3-7) x O y Subtracting Vectors by Components (3-8) (3-9) (3-10) (3-11)
