    Vector: Coordinate System

    Uploaded by

    Manar Abdulrahman
    1) There are two main coordinate systems: Cartesian uses x and y coordinates to locate a point, while polar uses radial distance (r) and angle (θ). 2) Vectors have both magnitude and direction, unlike scalars which only have magnitude. Common vectors include velocity, displacement, and force. 3) Vectors can be added by combining their x and y components. Their magnitude is calculated using Pythagorean theorem and direction is found with tangent inverse.

    Vector

    Coordinate System
    Cartesian Coordinate
    Any point P is labeled with the coordinate
    Cartesian from polar
    X = r cosθ
    Y = r sinθ
    Polar Coordinate
    Any point P is labeled with the coordinate (r,θ)
    r = magnitude is the lengt
    θ = is the angle between a line drawn from the origin to the point and a fixed axis
    Polar form chartesian
    r = √(𝑥^2+𝑦^2 )
    θ = tan^(-1) y/x

    Vector and Scalar Quantities


    Scalar
    A scalar quantity is completely specified by a single valu with an appropriate No direction
    Example:
    Temperature
    Volume
    Mass
    Vector
    A vector quantity is completely specified by a number units plus a direction
    Example:
    Velocity
    Displacement
    Force
    Electric field
    Arrow is written over the symbol for the vector 𝐴 ⃗
    Tail —> Head
    The number of the vector A is written A or |A|
    Note: the magnitude of a vector is always a positive number

    Some Properties of vectors


    Vector AB is called the displacement vector
    Vectors are physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction
    Both magnitude/ length are equal
    Two vectors are considered equal if |A| = |B| and they point in the same direction

    If we wanted to add vector B to A


    R ⃗= 𝐴 ⃗+ B ⃗
    To find the magnitude
    r = √(𝑥^2+𝑦^2 )
    Direction
    θ = tan^(-1) Ry/Rx

    Components of a Vector
    Vector A can be represented as:
    A =Ax+Ay
    And Ax, Ay are called vector components

    Note that: The signs of vector’s components depend on the quadrant in which the vector is located.
    Units vectors along x, y, and z directions, are called î , ĵ and k
    Vectors Addition and Subtracting
    Sum of vectors using components
    Suppose that we wish to add vector B to vector A
    A has the components Ax , Ay
    B has the components Bx , By
    We do the same thing in subtracting like sum but with different sign (-)
    We take i together and j together with their numbers، and then we subtract

    Vectors product
    Scalar and vector is the result of the product
    The result of the scalar is equal zero if
    θ = 90 or 270 degrees
    And also i * i = j * j = 1
    But i * j = 0
    The result of the vector equal zero if
    θ = 0 or 180 degrees
    Also j * j = k * k= i * i = 1
    But j * i = k
    The scalar product of two vectors is
    A * B = ABcosθ B
    But with it’s self is A * A = |A| |A| Cos0
    Suppose there are two vectors a and b, vector a is perpendicular or orthogonal to b, so the angle between them is θ = π/
    2=90
    The scalar product is A*B = |A| |B| cos(π/2)=0
