Motion In A Plane
-
Scalar quantities: These are the physical quantities that are not affected by the change in the coordinate systems used to define them. They do not have any direction. Example: Speed, charge, temperature, etc.
-
Vector quantities: These are physical quantities that have both direction and magnitude. They change with change in the coordinate systems used to define them. Example: Displacement, velocity, etc.
- Position vector: Position vector of a point in a coordinate system is the straight line that joins the origin and the point.
-
Displacement Vector: It is the straight line that joins the initial and the final position.
-
Equality of Vectors: Two vectors are said to be equal only if they have the same magnitude and the same direction.
-
Negative vector: Negative vector is a vector whose magnitude is the same as that of a given vector, but whose direction is opposite to that of the given vector.
-
Zero vector: Zero vector is a vector whose magnitude is zero and have an arbitrary direct…
