December 2011 Vectors Math is everywhere. No matter which way you look at it‚ it’s there. It is especially present in science. Most people don’t notice it‚ they have to look closer to find out what it is really made of. A component in math that is very prominent in science is the vector. What is a vector? A vector is a geometric object that has both a magnitude and a direction. A good example of a vector is wind. 30 MPH north. It has both magnitude‚(in this case speed) and direction. Vectors have specific

Acceleration Velocity Displacement Distance Time Definition 1. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Velocity is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. the length of an imaginary straight path‚ typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P. Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday usage‚ distance may refer to a physical length‚ or an estimation Time in physics is

Directed Line Segment: VECTORS • A line segment with direction is called a directed line segment. • If ‘A’ and ‘B’ are two distinct points in the space‚ then the ordered pair (A‚ B) is called as a directed line segment and is denoted by """""# . ! • In """""# ‚ ‘A’ is called initial point and ‘B’ is called terminal ! point of """""# . ! • The distance from ‘A’ to ‘B’ is called the length or magnitude of """""# . The length or magnitude of """""# ! ! is denoted by ’"""""# ’. Thus

quantity which depends on direction a vector quantity‚ and a quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics‚ a magnitude and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type‚ you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction. For scalars‚ you only have to compare the magnitude. When doing any mathematical operation on a vector quantity (like adding‚ subtracting‚ multiplying

Vector Analysis Definition A vector in n dimension is any set of n-components that transforms in the same manner as a displacement when you change coordinates Displacement is the model for the behavior of all vectors Roughly speaking: A vector is a quantity with both direction as well as magnitude. On the contrary‚ a scalar has no direction and remains unchanged when one changes the coordinates. Notation: Bold face A‚ in handwriting A . The magnitude of the vector is denoted by A A

Del may denote the gradient (locally steepest slope)‚ the divergence of a vector field‚ or the curl (rotation) of a vector field. The symbol ∇ can be interpreted as a vector of partial derivative operators‚ and its three
