VECTOR Flashcards
A directed line segment.
vector
What angle do we take in vector.?
Tail to Tail
Triangle Law ( 2 vectors P and Q represent the two sides of a triangle then the third side taken in opposite order will represent the……..
Vector Sum or Resultant of these vectors.
//gm law( Vector P and Q represent the two adjacent sides of a //gm then the diagonal of the //gm …..
Emerging from the tail of two vectors will represent the vector sum.
What is direction in vector?
It means how much angle it(Resultant) makes with P or Q vector depending upon our need.
tan alpha? alpha is the angle btw. Resultant and Vector along x-axis.
tan alpha= Q Sin Theta/ P+Q Cos theta.
tan alpha shortcut?
j.component/ i component.
For addition of two vectors make it in
i cap and j cap form.
If two vectors have equal magnitude then resultant will be
R= 2 A cos theta/2 Here, A is the magnitude of two vectors and theta is the angle btw. two vectors.
When two vectors have equal magnitude then alpha(angle)will be
alpha=theta/2 theta is the angle between two vectors.
-ve of a vector.
It is again a vector with same magnitude but direction is just opposite of it..
Splitting of a vector into its components is called
Resolution.
When a vector is resolved in such a manner that all of its components are mutually perpendicular then these components are called
Rectangular components of a given vector.
