3.2 Vector and Scalar Quantities (Page 60)

Scalar quantity: Quantity has a unit value with no direction (mass, length, volume, speed, temperature, time, age,…..).

Vector quantity: Quantity has a unit value (number) with a direction (force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, …).

The vector (A) is denoted by:

The magnitude of the vector (A) is denoted by:

Figure 3.4: A particle moves from (A) to (B) along an arbitrary path (broken line). its displacement is represented as a vector (solid line) from (A) to (B)

Figure 3.5: Four vectors are equal because they have equal lengths and point in the same direction.

3.3: Some Properties of Vectors (Page 61)

1. Equality of Two Vectors (A = B)Two vectors (A) and (B) may be defined to be equal (A = B) if they have the same magnitude and point in the same direction.

2. Adding Vectors:

2.1: graphical method

Figure 3.6: To add vector (B) to vector (A)Resultant vector (R = A + B) is the vector drawn from the tail of (A) to the tip of (B).

2.3: Commutative law of addition (Page 62):

A + B = B + A

2.2: Scalar method (Page 62)

2.4: Associative law of addition (Page 62) A + B + C = (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)

A + B + C = A + (B + C) A + B + C = (A + B) + C

2.5: Negative of a Vector (Page 62) A + (– A) = A – A = 0

A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the second day, she walks 40.0 km in a direction 60.0° north of east, at which point she discovers a forest ranger’s tower.(A) Determine the components of the hiker’s displacement for each day.(B) Determine the components of the hiker’s resultant displacement R for the trip. Find an expression for R in terms of unit vectors

Ax = A cos45 = (25) cos45 = 17.7 kmAy = – A sin 45 = – (25) sin45 = – 17.7 km [negative sign (–) means in the negative Y direction)
