    11 Revision Notes Scalars and Vectors

    Scalars are quantities that have only magnitude, such as mass, energy and speed. Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction, such as acceleration, velocity and weight. When forces do not act in the same line, their resultant can be calculated using the triangle law or parallelogram law of vector addition. The triangle law states that the sum of two vectors is another vector obtained by placing the tail of one vector at the head of the other and completing the triangle. The parallelogram law states that the diagonal of a parallelogram formed by two vectors is the resultant of the two vectors.

    Scalars and vectors:


    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Scalars are quantities having only magnitude. Examples of scalars include
    mass, energy, power and speed

    m
    Vectors are quantities having magnitude as well direction .Examples of vectors
    include acceleration, velocity, weight
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    co
    When two forces do not act in the same line, then their resultant force can
    be calculated using parallelogram law or triangle law of vector addition.
    Triangle law of vector addition:

    b.
    Given two vectors and ���⃗ 𝒂𝒂 ����⃗, 𝒃𝒃 their sum or
    𝒂𝒂 + ����⃗
    resultant written as ( ���⃗ , 𝒃𝒃 ) is also a vector

    hu
    obtained by first bringing the initial point of b
    to the terminal point of a and then joining the
    initial point of a to the terminal point of b
    giving a uniform direction by completing the
    du
    triangle OAB.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    te
    Parallelogram law of vector addition:
    If two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are represented by two vectors,
    ����⃗
    ar

    namely ���⃗
    𝒂𝒂 , 𝒃𝒃 𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒓 , then the diagonal of the parallelogram is
    represented by the resultant (���⃗ 𝒂𝒂 + �𝒃𝒃⃗) of both the vectors.
