Q & A

What is a vector in physics?

A vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Examples include velocity, acceleration, and force.

What is the difference between a vector and a scalar?

A scalar is a quantity that only has magnitude, such as temperature or time, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.

How is a vector represented mathematically?

A vector is typically represented by an arrow with a starting point (tail) and an endpoint (head). In a mathematical context, a vector can be written as a component along the x, y, and z axes, such as 'a = ai + bj'.

What does it mean for two vectors to be equal?

Two vectors are considered equal if they have the same magnitude and direction, regardless of their position or starting point.

What is the concept of vector addition?

Vector addition involves combining two or more vectors to find a resultant vector. The methods for addition include simple addition for collinear vectors, the polygon method, and the triangle method.

What is the polygon method of vector addition?

The polygon method involves connecting the tip of one vector to the tail of the next, forming a closed shape or polygon. The resultant vector is drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector.

How is vector subtraction different from addition?

Vector subtraction involves reversing the direction of the second vector (making it negative) and then applying vector addition. This method effectively 'subtracts' one vector from another.

What is the triangle method of vector addition?

The triangle method involves placing the tail of the second vector at the tip of the first. The resultant vector is the vector drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector.

What is the jajar genjang (parallelogram) method for vector addition?

In the parallelogram method, two vectors are placed tail to tail, and a parallelogram is drawn where the vectors form adjacent sides. The diagonal of the parallelogram represents the resultant vector.

How do we find the magnitude and direction of a resultant vector in the jajar genjang method?

The magnitude of the resultant vector is calculated using the cosine law, and the direction can be found using the sine rule, depending on the angles formed by the vectors.

What is the formula for finding the magnitude of the resultant vector from two vectors?

The magnitude of the resultant vector R from two vectors A and B, with an angle θ between them, is given by the formula: R = √(A² + B² + 2AB cos(θ)).

How is vector decomposition used in solving vector problems?

Vector decomposition involves breaking a vector into its components along the x and y axes. For example, a vector A can be decomposed into Ax = A cos(θ) and Ay = A sin(θ), which can help in finding the resultant vector in a specific direction.

How do you calculate the resultant vector for multiple vectors?

To calculate the resultant vector for multiple vectors, each vector is decomposed into its x and y components. The sum of the x components gives the total x component of the resultant, and similarly for the y components. The resultant vector is then calculated using Pythagoras' theorem.

What is the significance of the angle between vectors when calculating the resultant?

The angle between vectors is crucial in determining the magnitude and direction of the resultant. The angle affects the sum or difference between the vectors and is used in the cosine and sine laws to find the correct resultant.
