    Same Direction Are Said To Be Equal No Matter: B A C B A C

    Uploaded by

    Vanesa Faye De Leon
    A vector has both magnitude and direction, represented by an arrow, while a scalar only has magnitude. Vectors can be added by placing the tail of one vector at the head of another and combining their components. Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction. To calculate the resultant displacement of perpendicular vectors, use the Pythagorean theorem.

    Vectors and Scalars • Two vectors that have the same length and the

    same direction are said to be equal no matter


    A vector has magnitude as well as direction. Examples: where they are located.
    displacement, velocity, force, momentum
    • The negative of a vector is a vector with the
    A scalar has only a magnitude. Examples: mass, time, same magnitude (size) but opposite direction
    temperature
    Distance is the length of the actual path taken by an
    object. A scalar quantity contains magnitude only and
    consists of a number and a unit.
    (20 m, 40 mi/h, 10 gal)
    Displacement is the straight-line separation of two points
    in a specified direction. A vector quantity contains Addition of Vectors
    magnitude AND direction, a number, unit & angle. For vectors in one-dimension, simple addition and
    0
    (12 m, 30 ; 8 km/h, N) subtraction are all that is needed.

    A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and


    direction. It is represented by an arrow. The length of
    the vector represents the magnitude and the arrow
    indicates the direction of the vector.

    You do need to be careful about the signs, as the figure


    indicates.

    Blue and green vectors have same direction but different


    magnitude.
    Blue and purple vectors have same magnitude and
    direction, so they are equal.
    If the motion is in two dimensions, the situation is
    Blue and orange vectors have same magnitude but somewhat more complicated.
    different direction.
    Here, the actual travel paths are at right angles to one
    Two vectors are equal if they have the same direction another; we can find the displacement by using the
    and magnitude (length). Pythagorean Theorem.
    • The magnitude of a vector is a positive number When 2 vectors are
    (with units!) that describes its size. perpendicular, you may use the
    • Example: magnitude of a displacement vector is Pythagorean theorem. A man walks 95 km, East then 55
    its length. km, north. Calculate his RESULTANT DISPLACEMENT.

    • The magnitude of a velocity vector is often called


    speed.
    55 km, N
    The magnitude of a vector is expressed using the same
    letter as the vector but without the arrow on top of it.
    95 km, E
    Some Vector Properties
    • Two vectors that have the same direction are c2  a 2  b2  c  a2  b2
    said to be parallel. c  Resultant  952  552
    • Two vectors that have opposite directions are c  12050  109.8 km
    said to be anti-parallel.
