2.1 DEFINITION OF VECTOR
QUANTITIES
Scalar quantities:
quantities that are measured require a description with only
a number (magnitude) and a unit.
Examples: mass, volume, temperature, time speed anddistance.
Vector quantities:
Require description with a number (magnitude) and adirection
Examples: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force and
weight.
The scalar part of the vector is called magnitude of thevector.

2.2 REPRESENTATION OF A
VECTOR: A BASIC CONCEPT
Some common denotation of vectors include:
Boldcase in typed writing: a.
In handwriting: or a.a
Point A: is called the initial point, tail, or base.
Point B: is called the head, tip, or endpoint.The length of the arrow represents the magnitude.
The direction in which the arrow points represents the vectors
direction.
VectorABis represented by awith magnitude a and directionAB.

Two vectors are equal if the length (magnitude) and the
direction of both are the same.
Combination of two or more vectors will produce new
vector with both magnitude and direction depending on
the initial state of the vectors.
The new magnitude/direction of the new vector isknown as resultant magnitude/direction.
If one of these vectors changes the magnitude/direction,
it will affect the magnitude/direction of the resultant
vector.

a. Naming and defining the vector magnitude and
direction
We can name a vector by its length and direction 3 km, southeast 25 km/h, at 50east of north
Or we can name a vector by x- and y-coordinates ofits endpoint, if its tail at the origin (3, 4)
(5, -2)

b. Vector unit assignment and notation
For 2D or 3D coordination system (Cartesian
coordinate), the notation of vector is assigned as i,j,
k.
Sometimes also written as
The notation i,j, k are defined as x, y and z direction
respectively in the coordinate system.
In a general form of unit vector, a unit of magnitudein any direction is defined.
Vector A has a magnitude of Axin the x-direction
and a magnitude of Ayin the y-direction.
Therefore vector Acan be written as:
A = Axi + Ayj
Similarly, in 3D system, vector unit can be written as:
A = Axi + Ayj + Azk
, , .i j k

Ay

Adding/subtracting a vector can be done by
adding/subtracting magnitude with the same direction
respectively.
Example:
Given A= (3i+ 2j)m, B= (-5i4j)m and C = (-2i+ 5j).
Determine the vector resultant of R = A + B + C.

Example:
Two forces 3.0N and 4.0N act on a point.
a) What are the maximum and the minimum oftheir resultant force?
b) If a force of 3.0N acts on y-axis, while 4.0N actson the x-axis with the angle between them is90, what is their resultant?
Solution:
a) Maximum resultant occurs when both forces act
in the same direction:R =3.0N + 4.0N = 7.0N
Minimum resultant occurs when both forces actin the opposite direction:
R=|3.0N + (-4.0N)| = 1.0N

b) By using
paralellogram:
The vectors should be drawn according to scale.
By doing so, measuring the length of the
resultant vector will give its magnitude.
In this case, the magnitude of the resultant
vector is 5.0 N.

2.3.2 ANALYTICAL METHOD
This method is more precise than graphical method.
Easier to perform operation on more than two vectors.
In this method, vectors are resolved into two
components: x-component and y-component.
In some cases, we can find resultant force by using
cosine rule.
Cosine rule:c2= a2+ b22ab cos

a common point O to each aircraft and the angle
between the aircrafts. If angle O between the twoaircrafts is equal to 49oand the distances from point O

2.3.3 TRIGONOMETRY METHODa) Vector resolution using Pythagoras theorem
(Finding a resultant vector when component vectors aregiven)
The original vector is split into x- and y-component.
The original vector, A, can be written as the sum of itsx- and y-component vectors: A = Ax+ Ay
The length of the original vector, A, can be accuratelycalculated by using Pythagoras theorem:

SUMMARY
Vectors are fundamental in the physical sciencesand engineering. It can be used to represent any
quantity that has both magnitude and direction
Vectors are usually denoted in boldcase, as A, or
