Vector Flashcards
These are quantities expressed in magnitude with
their corresponding units.
Scalar
These are quantities expressed in
magnitudes with their corresponding units and direction.
Vector
Examples of scalar quantities:
Time
Temperature
Energy
Mass
Examples of vector quantities:
Displacement
Acceleration
Force
Velocity
States that when two vectors are represented as two sides of the triangle with the order of magnitude and direction, then the third side of the triangle represents the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector.
Triangle Law of Vector Addition
States that that if two vectors are placed so
they have the same initial point, and then
complete the vectors into a parallelogram,
then the sum of the vectors is the directed
diagonal that starts at the same point as the vectors.
