Vectors

Freshhh like uhh

So today we started with the new Unit on Vectors so far this is what i understood.

Vector - Distance, Magnitude
Scaler - Distance, Direction

Here are some examples

Examples:



My car weighs 2700 pounds. Scalar has no direction
I drive my car 50 000 km per year. Scalar has no particular direction
Brandon is 2044 km S of Winnipeg. Vector (magnitude = 2044km direction = S)
the wind is 50 kph from the south. Vector (magnitude = 50 kph direction = to the S)

4 Notations

  • An arrow indicates magnitude
  • tip indicates direction
  • Bearings angle is always measured clockwise from the N angle
  • always 3 digit number
  • Direction of Direction
  • Direction Degree Direction
Example




  • Bearing 360 - 30 = 330
  • 60 degress East of South
  • 30 degress South of East
  • E 30 degress S
  • S 60 degress E
