The speed and direction of an object can be represented by..
A vector
What is a vector
Vector is a quantity that has both length and direction
Length= speed
What does component form look like
component form of a vector list horizontal and vertical change from the initial point to terminal point
What is magnitude
Magnitude is the length of the vector
What is the direction of a vector
The direction of a vector is the angle that makes with the horizontal line angle is measured counterclockwise from positive x-axis
What are equal vectors
Two vectors are equal vectors if they have the same magnitude in the same direction
What are parallel vectors
Two vectors are parallel if they have the same direction or if they have opposite directions they may have different magnitudes NOTE equal vectors are always parallel vector
What is a resultant vector
The resultant vector is the vector that represents the sum of two given vectors
