Unit -2: Review and Summary of Vector
2.1 Scalar and Vector Quantity

❖ Physical quantity can be classified as basic and derived physical quantity.
❖ Basic (fundamental) physical quantities are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, amount
of
substance, and luminous intensity.
❖ Basic -SI units are kilogram, meter, second, kelvin, Ampere, mole, candela.
❖ Physical quantity can also classify as vector and scalar physical quantity.
❖ Vector physical quantity have both magnitude and direction,
Examples: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, impulse... it can have a negative
meaning in the opposite direction.
❖ Scalar physical quantity have only magnitude (dimension ),it can't be negative
❖ Vectors can be represented graphically and symbolically.
❖ Types of vectors are position vector, unit vector, collinear vector, coplanar vector, orthogonal vector.
❖ A unit vector is a vector that has a magnitude of one unit, and it is used to show the direction of a
given vector. Example : i , j ,k
❖ Collinear vectors are vectors that exist along the same line, and they may be parallel or opposite to
each other.
❖ Coplanar vectors are vectors that act on the same plan, and they may be parallel, opposite or
perpendicular to each other .
❖ Orthogonal vectors are vectors that are perpendicular to each other.
❖ Resolving a vector is the process of finding the components of a vector.
❖ Component of a vector is the projection of the vector on an axis.
❖ Vector addition is commutative and associative but vector subtraction is not commutative and
associative.
❖ Vectors can be added by geographical method and component method.
❖ The unit vector of a given vector can be determined by dividing the vector by itsmagnitude.
❖ The projection of vector-A onto vector -B is given byA.cos ፀ

❖ If two vectors are equal then they must have the same magnitude and the samedirection.
❖ Scalar (dot) product is the product of two vectors that gives a scalar. It is expressed by
A.B =|A||B|.cos ፀ= AxBx +AyBy +AzBz
❖ Properties of scalar product ; A.A=A2
, A.B =B.A , i.i= j.j = k.k=1, and i.j= j.k = k.i=0
❖ Vector (cross) product is the product of two vectors that gives another vector.
AxB =|A||B|sin ፀ.n = (AyBz-AzBy)i - (AxBz -AzBx) j +(AxBy -AyBx)k
❖ Properties of vector product are AxA=0 ,AxB= -BxA , ixi =jxj =kxk=0 , ixj=jxk=kxi=1
❖ The scalar product of two orthogonal vectors is always zero ,and the vector product of two collinear
vectors are always zero.
