Vectors
A vector quantity has both magnitude (size) and direction
A scalar quantity only has size (i.e. temperature, time, energy, etc.)
Parts of a vector:
headtail
length – represents the magnitude
We can perform math operations with vectors!

Vector Components
A component of a vector is the projection of the vector on an axis
x
y
A

Magnitude, size is:
We can write the vector A as the sum of an x-component and y-component:
yAxAA yx
Ax , Ay = the x and y components of the vector A
x hat and and y hat are the unit vectors

Vector Product (aka cross product)The vector product produces a new vector who’s magnitudeis given by:
sinbabac
The direction of the new vector is given by the, “right hand rule”
Mathematically, we can find the direction usingmatrix operations.

The determinants are used to find the components of the vector
1st : Strike out the first column and first row!
3rd : Strike out the 2nd column and first row
4th : Cross multiply the four components,subtract, andmultiply by -1:
2nd : Cross multiply the four components – and subtract:
