Scalar and vectors Flashcards
what is scalar
quantity
whyat is vector like
has arrows to represent the force of how it has
eg of scalar
speed
time
distance
mass
eg of vectors
displacement
force
velocity
weight
what do you do to add vector which has arrows faces thew same way
add
what do you do to add vector which has arrows faces the opposite way
subtract
what does the lenght of the arrow show
the size of the force or mass
what is displacement
the distance from the start straight to the finish
an easy straightforward way to get there
what is the scalar formula
v=d/t
what is the formula for vector
s=vt
what is s
displacement m
what is v
velocity m/s
what is t
time s
what do you need to do to find the resultant force and the bearing in a question
the arrows nose to tail
find the long side using Pythagoras
fin the angle using trigonometry
write what you have found
at the end say- the resultant displacement is ….. and the is in the north of east ant the bearing of
what do you need to do if you are finding the bearing
take the angle away from 90 and use the format of (000) to write it
