1 Vectors: Introduction Calculus II Josh Engwer TTU 23 April 2014 Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

2 Vectors & Scalars (Definition) Definition A vector v is a quantity that bears both magnitude and direction. Examples of vectors: displacement, velocity, force, angular momentum,... Definition A scalar t is a quantity that bears only magnitude. Examples of scalars: time, temperature, distance, speed, area, volume,... Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

3 2D Vector (Definition) Vector v with horizontal component v 1 and vertical component v 2 : Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

6 2D Vector (Representation) 2D Space: R 2 (say R-Two ) Component Form: v = v 1, v 2 Basis Form: v = v 1 î + v 2 ĵ [Basis Vectors î := 1, 0, ĵ := 0, 1 ] Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

7 3D Vector (Definition) Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

8 3D Vector (Representation) 3D Space: R 3 (say R-Three ) Component Form: v = v 1, v 2, v 3 [ Basis Form: v = v 1 î + v 2 ĵ + v 3 k ] Basis Vectors î := 1, 0, 0, ĵ := 0, 1, 0, k := 0, 0, 1 Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30

9 Vectors (Translation Invariance) Two vectors are equal their components are equal they both bear the same magnitude & same direction. Merely translating a vector (as illustrated above) does not change it. Josh Engwer (TTU) Vectors: Introduction 23 April / 30
