CHAPTER 3: VECTORS NHAA/IMK/UNIMAP
INTRODUCTION Definition 3.1 a VECTOR is a mathematical quantity that has both MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION VECTOR: represented by arrow where the direction of arrow indicates the DIRECTION of the vector & the length of arrow indicates the MAGNITUDE of the vector. Eg: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, ect NHAA/IMK/UNIMAP
INTRODUCTION Definition 3.2 a SCALAR is a mathematical quantity that has MAGNITUDE only VECTOR: represented by a single letter s.a, a. Eg: temperature, mass, length area, ect NHAA/IMK/UNIMAP
INTRODUCTION Definition 3.3 A vector in the plane is a directed line segment that has initial point A and terminal point B, denoted by, ; its length is denoted by . Terminal Point, B Initial Point, A Length: NHAA/IMK/UNIMAP
Variation of vectors Definition 3.3 Vectors Negative (Opposite direction but has the same magnitude) Definition 3.4 Two Equal vectors (If and only if they have the same magnitude and direction) Definition 3.5 Addition of vectors The Triangle Law The Parallelogram Law The Sum of a Number of Vectors
