    This document provides an overview of topics that will be covered in a vector analysis class, including scalars and vectors, adding and subtracting vectors, unit vectors, coordinate systems, and vector multiplication. It defines scalars and vectors, with scalars representing physical quantities by a single number and no direction, while vectors require both magnitude and direction. Coordinate axes and the components of vectors are also defined. Vector addition and subtraction are introduced, as well as unit vectors, Cartesian and polar coordinate systems, dot products, and cross products. Spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems are also listed as topics to be covered.

    VECTOR ANALYSIS
    INSTRUCTOR: SIR JOSELITO A FLORES JR
    TOPICS:

    • What is vector and scalar?


    • How to Add and subtract vector
    • What is Unit vector
    • Cartesian and polar coordinate
    system
    • Dot and cross product
    • Spherical and cylindrical
    coordinate system
    SCALARS AND VECTORS
    Key Points

    •Scalars are physical quantities represented by a single


    number and no direction.
    •Vectors are physical quantities that require both magnitude
    and direction. and can be expressed as arrows in two or three
    dimensions.
    •Examples of scalars include height, mass, area, and volume.
    Examples of vectors include displacement, velocity, and
    acceleration.

    Key Terms

    •Coordinate axes: A set of perpendicular lines which define


    coordinates relative to an origin. Example: x and y coordinate
    axes define horizontal and vertical position.

    VECTORS
    Key Points

    •Vectors can be broken down into two components:


    magnitude and direction.
    •By taking the vector to be analyzed as the hypotenuse,
    the horizontal and vertical components can be found by
    completing a right triangle. The bottom edge of the
    triangle is the horizontal component and the side
    opposite the angle is the vertical component.
    •The angle that the vector makes with the horizontal can
    be used to calculate the length of the two components.
    VECTORS
    Key Terms

    •coordinates: Numbers indicating a position with respect to some axis.


    Ex: x and y coordinates indicate position relative to x and y axes.
    •axis: An imaginary line around which an object spins or is
    symmetrically arranged.
    •magnitude: A number assigned to a vector indicating its length.

    •A vector is defined by its magnitude and its orientation with respect to


    a set of coordinates. It is often useful in analyzing vectors to break them
    into their component parts. For two-dimensional vectors, these
    components are horizontal and vertical. For three dimensional vectors,
    the magnitude component is the same, but the direction component is
    expressed in terms of x, y and z.
