= quantities which are completely specified when their magnitude are given,
for example: speed, distance, work, volume, mass, specific heat, gravitational potential, time, etc.
VECTOR QUANTITIES
= quantities which require both magnitude and direction in order to be completely specified
{for example: velocity, displacement, momentum, weight, torque, centrifugal force, electric field
intensity, etc.
VECTOR REPRESENTATION :
a. Graphically
for example,
oo?
length — represents the magnitude
arrowhead — represents the direction
UNIT VECTOR :
~ isa vector having unit magnitude,
Cartesian Unit Vectors
|, kin 3D-space :
direction of increasing value of x, y,
and z respectively.
Note:
b. Analytically
for example, vector A can be
represented as A or A.
Note:
—Ris a vector having unit
magnitude es A but opposte in
direction
Vector in 3D-space :
A= Ait Agi tAgk =< AyAg,Ay >
where: Ay, As, Ay are scalar components of A
‘Axi, Ad, Ask are vector components of A
1. Zero or Null Vector - it has zero magnitude and direction is undefined or no specific direction,
2. Equality of Vectors —two vectors are equal if and only if their corresponding components are
also equal.
