Fundamental of Physics - Vector Quantities Public Class

About the Class

Physics deals with a great many quantities that have both size and direction,and it needs a special mathematical language-the language of vectors-to describe those quantities. This language is also used in engineering. the other sciences, and even in common speech. if you have over given directions such as " Go five blocks down this street and then hang a left" you have to used the language of vectors. in fact, navigation of any sort is based on vectors, but physics and engineering also need vectors in special ways to explain phenomena involving rotation and magnetic forces, which we will be discussing later. in this session, we focus on the basic language of vectors. through out this session we will discuss;

• 1. Vectors and scalars
• 2. Adding vectors geometrically
• 3. Components of vectors
• 4. Unit vectors
• 5. Adding vectors by components
• 6. Vectors and the Laws of physics
• 7. Multiplying vectors
• 8. Past paper questions.
