Introduction to Vectors
Vectors are physical quantities that have magnitude and direction, such as force and velocity. They differ from scalar quantities which have no direction. In this analysis we will explore:
- Mathematical representation of vectors
- Vector component analysis
- Practical applications in physics and engineering
Mathematical Representation of Vectors
Vector in two dimensions:
\[A = A_xî + A_yĵ\]
Where:
- Horizontal component
\[A_x\]
- Vertical component
\[A_y\]
- Unit vectors
\[ î, ĵ\]
Vector Component Analysis
\[A_x = |A| cosθ\]
\[A_y = |A| sinθ\]
Example: A vector with 50N force at 30° angle to horizontal axis
\[ A_x= 50 * cos(30°) ≈ 43.3 N\]
\[ A_y = 50 * sin(30°) = 25 N\]
Vector Addition
\[ R = A + B = (A_x + B_x)î + (A_y + B_y)ĵ\]
Example:
\[ A = 3î + 4ĵ\]
\[B = 2î - 5ĵ\]
\[ R = (3+2)î + (4-5)ĵ = 5î - 1ĵ\]
Practical Applications
