6 TOPIC. VECTORS Learning objectives By the end of this topic, you should be able to: work with vectors in and dimensions; identify and use the components of a position vector; use and interpret unit vector form; use and interpret a zero vector; use and identify parallel vectors; determine collinearity of vectors; determine the coordinates of a point that divides a line internally; calculate the scalar product; determine the angle between two vectors; identify perpendicular vectors.

7 TOPIC. VECTORS. Looking back at vectors from National Summary A vector is a quantity which has both direction and magnitude. The magnitude of a vector is its size or length. A directed line segment from A to B is defined as AB. A vector or force can also be defined by a lower-case letter in bold. Vectors are equal if they have the same direction and magnitude. When a vector has its direction reversed it is negative e.g. a becomes -a. A vector can be multiplied by a scalar e.g. doubling a gives a. Vectors can be added by joining one to the end of another. Displacement is the shortest distance from A to B. A vector journey is a description of its displacement. The components of a vector describe the journey from A to B e.g. x y in D. z ( x y ) in D or ( Arithmetic ) can ( be ) performed ( on the ) components ( ) (+ ) e.g = = + The magnitude is calculated from the components using the Theorem of ( ) x Pythagoras e.g. u =, u = x x + y and v = y, y z v = x + y + z Key point A vector is a quantity which has both direction and magnitude (or size).

8 4 TOPIC. VECTORS.. Vector Journeys Examples. If B is km East of A then AB is a vector with distance or magnitude km and direction East.. PQ and MN are vectors. A vector can be represented by a directed line segment, that is a line from one point to another which has a direction arrow on it. The two lines MN and PQ represent vectors in two dimensions. MN and PQ are directed line segments and the arrowheads indicate the direction.. u and v are vectors. Vectors are often represented using a lower case letter in bold.

9 TOPIC. VECTORS 4. Equal vectors FE and u have the same length or magnitude and are parallel with the same direction. So we can say that FE = u.. Multiplying a vector by a scalar PQand v are parallel with the same direction but PQ is double the size of v. Sowecan say that PQ = v or v = PQ.. Reversing the direction of a vector KL and a have the same magnitude and are parallel but are pointing in opposite directions. So we can say that KL = a or a = KL.

10 TOPIC. VECTORS Key point A displacement is the shortest distance from one point to another and a Vector Journey is a displacement. Examples. Problem: Express each of the following displacements in terms of vectors a and b. a) AC b) CB c) CA d) BC e) AB Solution: a) AC = a b) CB = b c) CA is just AC with its direction reversed so CA = a. d) BC is just CB with its direction reversed so BC = b. e) AB is the shortest distance from A to B but the long way would be from A to C to B which is AC + CB so AB = a + b. Problem: In the diagram AB = DC and BC = v. Express the displacements in terms of vectors u and v.

11 TOPIC. VECTORS 7 a) AB b) CD c) AD If BC = BE. Express the displacements listed as d) and e) in terms of vectors u and v. d) CE e) ED Solution: a) Since AB = DC it follows that AB and DC have the same direction, so AB = DC = u. b) CD is just DC with its direction reversed so CD = u. c) AD = AB + BC + CD = u + v + ( - u) = u + v d) Sometimes we may have to employ a little bit of algebra to find the solution. If BC = BE then y = BE. If we change the subject of the formula to BE we get y = BE. BC = BE so it follows that CE = BE. If we substitute v for BE we get CE = v = v = v. e) ED = EC + CD. If we reverse the direction of CE and DC we get ED = v + ( - u) or ED = - v u. - Vector journeys exercise Q: Express each of the following displacements in terms of vectors a and b. Go online
