Mechanics Flashcards
!a!
magnitude of force
sqrrt i^2 + j^2
^a (hat on top of a)
1/!a!
1 over magnitude of force
1/ sqrrt i^2 + j^2
q = (3i +4j) ^q =
sqrrt 3^2 + 4^2 =5
1/5q = (0.6i +0.8j)
distance
is the overall distance travelled
displacement
is the displacement from STARTING POINT only
Vector
magnitude +direction
Scalar
magnitude
examples of Vector
Displacement, velocity, acceleration

speed
add up thespeed for each part, divide by all parts
how to find speed with vectors
i^2 + j^2 =sped^2
