Vector Notes Flashcards
Definition of kinematics
The study of motion without regard to how that motion is caused
Vectors have both a _________ and __________
Magnitude and direction
The head of the arrow represents
The magnitude
The size of the arrow represents
Direction of the vector
Vectors help up symbolize and represent various vector quantities such as
Force, position, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and many more
When a vector is exactly 45° to either direction, it is given the names
[NE] northeast, [SE] southeast, [SW] southwest, [NW] northwest
The template to state direction
vector magnitude and unity [primary direction, °from primary direction, secondary direction]
The primary direction is
the major direction the vector is closest to
When two vectors have the same magnitude and the same direction they are considered
congruent
When two vectors have the same magnitude but are opposite in direction, they are considered
opposite
