Vectors and scalars
• A scalar quantity can be described by a single
number.
• A vector quantity has both a magnitude and a
direction in space.
• In this book, a vector quantity is represented in
boldface italic type with an arrow over it: A.
• The magnitude of A is written as A or |A|.

Drawing vectors—Figure 1.10
• Draw a vector as a line with an arrowhead at its tip.
• The length of the line shows the vector’s magnitude.
• The direction of the line shows the vector’s direction.
• Figure 1.10 shows equal-magnitude vectors having the same
direction and opposite directions.

Adding two vectors graphically—Figures 1.11–1.12
• Two vectors may be added graphically using either the parallelogram
method or the head-to-tail method.

Adding more than two vectors graphically—Figure 1.13
• To add several vectors, use the head-to-tail method.
• The vectors can be added in any order.

Multiplying a vector by a scalar
• If c is a scalar, the
product cA has
magnitude |c|A.
• Figure 1.15 illustrates
multiplication of a vector
by a positive scalar and a
negative scalar.

Addition of two vectors at right angles
• First add the vectors graphically.
• Then use trigonometry to find the magnitude and direction of the
sum.
• Follow Example 1.5.

Components of a vector—Figure 1.17
• Adding vectors graphically provides limited accuracy. Vector
components provide a general method for adding vectors.
• Any vector can be represented by an x-component Ax and a y-
component Ay.
• Use trigonometry to find the components of a vector: Ax = Acos θ and
Ay = Asin θ, where θ is measured from the +x-axis toward the +y-axis.

Positive and negative components—Figure 1.18
• The components of a vector can
be positive or negative numbers,
as shown in the figure.

Finding components—Figure 1.19
• We can calculate the components of a vector from its magnitude
and direction.
• Follow Example 1.6.

Calculations using components
• We can use the components of a vector to find its magnitude
and direction:
• We can use the components of a
set of vectors to find the components
of their sum:
• Refer to Problem-Solving
Strategy 1.3.

Unit vectors—Figures 1.23–1.24
• A unit vector has a magnitude
of 1 with no units.
• The unit vector î points in the
+x-direction, points in the +y-
direction, and points in the
+z-direction.
• Any vector can be expressed
in terms of its components as
A =Axî+ Ay + Az .
• Follow Example 1.9.

(also called the “dot
product”) of two
vectors is
• Figures 1.25 and
1.26 illustrate the
scalar product.
