    VECTORS

    Uploaded by

    Angel Sagre
    Vectors have both magnitude and direction, unlike scalars which only have magnitude. Some common vector quantities include force, velocity, and displacement. Vectors can be represented geometrically using arrows or analytically using components. The triangle, parallelogram, and polygon laws describe how to add vectors geometrically. Vectors can also be added by resolving them into their x and y components and adding the corresponding components. Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1 and are used to describe direction in space.

    VECTORS

    Prepared by: Ms. Lady Sheena O. Detablan


    SCALAR vs VECTOR
    - when a physical - a q u a n t i t y h av i n g
    quantity is described only by a direction as well as magnitude,
    single number and its unit. especially as determining the
    position of one point in space
    relative to another.

    Time Force
    Speed Velocity
    Mass Displacement
    Density Acceleration
    Volume Momentum
    Repesentation of a Vector

    Vector ��
    Repesentation of a Vector
    Some vector quantities are represented by their respective
    symbol with an arrow above it.
    TYPES OF VECTORS (based on orientation)
    Parallel Vectors
    Two vectors are said to be parallel vectors, if they have the same direction.
    Equal Vectors
    Two parallel vectors are said to be equal vectors, if they have the same magnitude.
    Anti - parallel Vectors
    Two vectors are said to be anti-parallel vectors, if they are in opposite directions.
    Negative Vectors
    Two anti-parallel vectors are said to be negative vectors, if they have the same magnitude.
    Collinear Vectors
    Two vectors are said to be collinear vectors, if they act along the same line.
    Co-terminus Vectors
    Two or more vectors are said to be co-terminus vectors, if they have common terminal point.
    Coinitial Vectors
    Two or more vectors having the same initial point.
    TYPES OF VECTORS (on the basis of effects)
    POLAR VECTORS
    - vector quantity whose direction is along the direction of motion of a particle.

    DISPLACEMENT VECTOR
    FORCE VECTOR

    VELOCITY VECTOR
    TYPES OF VECTORS (on the basis of effects)
    AXIAL VECTORS
    -a vector quantity whose direction along the axis of rotation of the body, or a particle.

    ANGULAR MOMENTUM

    TORQUE
    VECTOR
    ADDITION
    GEOMETRICAL METHOD
    TRIANGLE LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION
    Two sides of the triangle represent two vectors taken in the same order.
    Third side of the triangle taken in opposite order represents the vector sum of the two vectors.
    PARALLELOGRAM LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION
    Two adjacent sides represent two vectors � ��� �
    Diagonal through common point represents the vector � + �
    POLYGON LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION
    If a number of vectors are respresented as the sides of a polygon both in magnitude and
    direction taken in order, the resultant is represented by the closing side of the polygon taken in
    the reverse order both in magnitude and direction.

    REWRITING A VECTOR IN COMPONENT FORM

    The component method of


    addi t i o n re q u i re s t h at a
    vector must first be written
    into its components.

    The component of a vector


    depends on the coordinate
    system that is being used.
    REWRITING A VECTOR IN COMPONENT FORM
    FORMULA
    (1) �� = �����
    (1) �� = �����

    where
    A is the magnitude of �
    ϴ is the angle from the =x-axis
    REWRITING A VECTOR IN COMPONENT FORM
    Given: � = ��� 45 ̊NE
    Solve: �� ��� ��

    (1) �� = ���� (��°)


    = 2 � km
    = 2.83km

    (1) �� = ���� (��°)


    = 2 � km
    = 2.83km

    Solve: �� ��� ��

    (1) �� = ���� (���°)

    (1) �� = ���� (���°)

    ADDING VECTORS IN COMPONENT FORM
    � + � Since:
    �� = 2.83km �� = 2.83km
    �� = − �. ���� �� = �. ��km

    �� = 2.83�� + (−�. 68��)

    �� = 2.83�� + 1.88��
    = 4.71km

    �� = 2.152 + 4.712
    = 5.18 km
