VECTORS
The study of vectors is closely related to the study of such
physical properties as force, motion, velocity, and other related
topics.
Vectors allow us to model certain characteristics of these
phenomena with numbers that tell us their magnitude and
direction.
![Page 2: VECTORS The study of vectors is closely related to the study of such physical properties as force, motion, velocity, and other related topics. Vectors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649da75503460f94a93816/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
SCALAR QUATITIES:
Measurements involving such things as time, area, volume,
energy, and temperature are called scalar measurements
because each can be described adequately using their
magnitude alone (with the appropriate units).
27 ft3 adequately describes the volume of a cube with side 3
ft. 980 F adequately describes the temperature of a person.
27ft3 and 980 F are called scalars.
![Page 3: VECTORS The study of vectors is closely related to the study of such physical properties as force, motion, velocity, and other related topics. Vectors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649da75503460f94a93816/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some properties such as force, velocity, and displacement
require both magnitude and direction to be described
completely. These quantities are called vector quantities.
Example: You are driving due north at 45 miles per hour. The magnitude is the speed, 45 miles per hour. The direction of motion is due north.

NOTATION AND GEOMETRY OF VECTORS
Two airplanes travel at 400 mph on a parallel course and in the same direction. This situation can be modeled using directed line segments.

B
A
D
The directed segments are drawn parallel with arrowheads pointing the same way to indicate direction of flight, while making them the same length indicates that the velocities are the same. The length of the vector models the magnitude of the velocity, while the arrowhead indicates the direction of travel.
Vectors are named using the initial and terminal points that define them as inOr with a bold, small case letter such as u or v. We may also write them as .

APPLICATION OF VECTORS:A common example of a vector quantity is force. Other vector quantities that appear in engineering mechanics are moment, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
FORCE: The effect of one physical body on another physical body. The force effect between two bodies can be interpreted as a ‘push’ or ‘pull’of one of the bodies on the other body.
![Page 19: VECTORS The study of vectors is closely related to the study of such physical properties as force, motion, velocity, and other related topics. Vectors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649da75503460f94a93816/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RESULTANT FORCE: When two or more forces are added to obtain a single force, it produces the same effect as the original system of forces. This single vector is called the sum, or the resultant force of the original system of forces.

F2
FR

x
The resultant force, FR , is the sum of F1 and F2 .

COMPONENTS OF A FORCE:Two or more forces acting on a particle may be replaced
by a single force which has the same effect on the
particle.
Conversely, a single force F acting on a particle may be
replaced by two or more forces which, together, have the
same effect on the particle. These forces are called the
components of the original force F.

RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS OF A FORCE.
Often it is desirable to resolve a force into two components which are perpendicular to each other. In the figure below, the force F has been resolved into a component Fx and a component Fy. Fx and Fy are called rectangular components.

Converting from Rectangular Coordinates to Polar Coordinates.
a) Radians.
b) Polar Coordinates.
We measure angles by determining the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. Two units of measurement for angles are degrees and radians.

An angle whose vertex is at the center of a circleis called a central angle. A central angle intercepts the arc of the circle from the initial side to the terminal side. A positive central angle that intercepts an arc of the circle of length equal to the radius of the circle has a measure of 1 radian.

The foundation of the polar coordinate system is a horizontal ray that extends to the right. This ray is called the polar axis. The endpoint of the polar axis is called the pole. A point P in the polar coordinate system is designated by an ordered pair of numbers (r, θ).
r
pole
polar axis
θ
P = (r, θ)r is the directed distance form the pole to point P ( positive, negative, or zero).
θ is angle from the pole to P (in degrees or radians).

To plot the point P( r,θ) , go a distance of
r at 0 then move θ along a circle of
radius r.
If r > 0, plot a point at that location. If r < 0, the
point is plotted on a circle of the same radius,
but 180 in the opposite direction.

CONVERTING FROM RECTANGULAR TO POLAR COORDINATES:
To convert the rectangular coordinates (x, y) of a point to polar coordinates:
1)Find the quadrant in which the given point (x, y) lies.
2) Use r = 2 2 to find .x y r
3) Find by using tan and choose so that it lies in the
same quadrant as the point ( , ).
