explanation of chapter vector
Answers
Vector quantity :-
Those quantity which requires only magnitude as well as direction for it's expression is called vector quantity.
Vector:-
Vector are represented in a plane by an arrow on the head, the length of the arrow represents magnitude and head of the arrow represent direction.
There are three types of vectors:-
1.Equal vector
2.Opposite vector
3.Unequal vector
Unit vector:-
The vector having magnitude one is called unit vector represented by small letter with cap on his head.(^a)
There are three laws for adding vector:-
1.Triangle law of vector addition
2.Parallelogram law of vector addition
3.Polygonial law of vector addition
Orthagonal vector:-
Unit vector along the co-ordinate axis.
Displacement vector:-
The vectors which shows displacement between two points is called displacement vector.
Resolution of vector:-
Horizontal component=vcosα
Vertical component=usinα
R=√H^2+v^2
and, α=tan^-1v/H
Multiplication vector:-
When a vector is multiplied by scalar then, the resultant is always vector.
Case1:-
If two vectors are perpendicular to each other then,
R=√P^2+Q^2
Case2:-
If two vectors are parallel to each other then,
R=√P^2+Q^2
Case3:-
If two vector are in same direction then,
R=P+Q
Case4:-
If both the vectors are in opposite directions then,
R=P-Q
