I. DefinitionVector quantity: quantity with a magnitude and a direction. It can berepresented by a vector.Examples: displacement, velocity, acceleration.Same displacementDisplacement does not describe the object’s path.Scalar quantity: quantity with magnitude, no direction.Examples: temperature, pressure

Vectors & Physics:-The relationships among vectors do not depend on the location of the origin ofthe coordinate system or on the orientation of the axes.- The laws of physics are independent of the choice of coordinate system.a a x2 a 2y a'2x a '2y(3.8) ' Multiplying vectors:- Vector by a scalar: f s a- Vector by a vector:Scalar product scalar quantity(dot product) a b ab cos a x bx a y by a z bz(3.9)
