1 Pythagoras

2 1.3 Vectors and scalars A scalar quantity has size only
e.g. mass, energy, speed, distance A vector quantity has both size and direction e.g. force, acceleration, velocity, displacement Graphical addition of vectors: Place the vectors end-to-end, the sum is the vector from the beginning of the first to the end of the last Mathematical addition of vectors: Split all vectors in components along the x- and y-axes Add the x- and y-components separately Construct the sum vector from the summed components

3 Example: A person walks 2 km North and then 1. 5 km North-East
Example: A person walks 2 km North and then 1.5 km North-East. Find the displacement. By graphical addition By mathematical addition
