Vectors Flashcards
It is the combination of distance and direction
Vector
Steps or Ladder
Scala
Quantities that can be described completely by their magnitudes and appropriate units. (Mass, temperature, speed, time, work, energy, distance)
Scalar Quantity
It means to carry
Vehere
A scalar quantity with direction (force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum and torque)
Vector Quantity
It must be written in Bold or if handwritten it must have a unit and an arrow on top of it.
Vector
What is this “5m,N of E”
Magnitude and Direction
Vectors that are considered equal, they do not need to start at the same point, they only need to have the same magnitude and have the same direction
PARALLEL
They are vectors in a opposite directions and are negative of one another.
Antiparallel
(+x,0) what is the direction
East
(-x,0) what is the direction?
West
(0,+y)
North
(0,-y) what is the direction?
South
A vector is commonly described by its length from the positive x-axis (either cc or ccw)
Standard Position
What is denoted in the clockwise from the standard position?
Positive Angle
