## 1.3 - Vectors and scalars
!!! note "Definition"
- **Scalar:** A physical quantity with a numerical value (magnitude) and a unit.
- **Vector:** A physical quantity with a **non-negative** numerical value (magnitude), a unit, and a **direction.**
??? example
- Scalar quantities include speed, distance, mass, temperature, pressure, time, frequency, current, voltage, and more.
- Vector quantities include velocity, displacement, acceleration, force (e.g., weight), momentum, impulse, and more.
Vectors are drawn as arrows whose length represents their scale/magnitude and their orientation refer to their direction. A variable representing a vector is written with a right-pointing arrow above it.
- The **standard form** of a vector is expressed as its magnitude followed by its unit followed by its direction in square brackets.
$$\vec{a} = 1\text{ m }[N 45° E]$$
- The **component form** of a vector is expressed as the location of its head on a cartesian plane if its tail were at $(0, 0)$.
$$\vec{a} = (1, 1)$$
- The **magnitude** of a vector can be expressed as the absolute value of a vector.
$$|\vec{a}| = 1 \text{ m}$$
### Adding/subtracting vectors diagrammatically
1. Draw the first vector.
2. Draw the second vector with its tail at the head of the first vector.
3. Repeat step 2 as necessary for as many vectors as you want by attaching them to the *head* of the last vector.
4. Draw a new ("resultant") vector from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector.
<img src="/resources/images/vector-add-direction.png" width=700>(Source: Kognity)</img>
When subtracting exactly one vector from another, repeat the steps above, but instead place the second vector at the **tail** of the first, then draw the resultant vector from the head of the second vector to the head of the first vector. Note that this only applies when subtracting exactly one vector from another.
!!! example
In the diagram above, $\vec{b}=\vec{a+b}-\vec{a}$.
Alternatively, for any number of vectors, negate the vector(s) being subtracted by **giving it an opposite direction** and then add the negative vectors.
<img src="/resources/images/vector-subtract-direction.png" width=700>(Source: Kognity)</img>
### Adding/subtracting vectors algebraically
Vectors can be broken up into two **component vectors** laying on the x- and y-axes via trigonometry such that the resultant of the two components is the original vector. This is especially helpful when adding larger (3+) numbers of vectors.
$$\vec{F}_x + \vec{F}_y = \vec{F}$$
!!! info "Reminder"
The **component form** of a vector is expressed as $(|\vec{a}_x|, |\vec{a}_y|)$
<img src="/resources/images/vector-simple-adding.png" width=700>(Source: Kognity)</img>
By using the primary trignometric identities:
$$
|\vec{a}_{x}| = |\vec{a}|\cos\theta_{a} \\
|\vec{a}_{y}| = |\vec{a}|\sin\theta_{a}
$$
<img src="/resources/images/vector-decomposition.png" width=700>(Source: Kognity)</img>
Using their component forms, to:
- add two vectors, add their x- and y-coordinates together.
- subtract two vectors, subtract their x- and y-coordinates together.
$$
(a_{x}, a_{y}) + (b_{x}, b_{y}) = (a_{x} + b_{x}, a_{y} + b_{y}) \\
(a_{x}, a_{y}) - (b_{x}, b_{y}) = (a_{x} - b_{x}, a_{y} - b_{y})
$$
The length of resultant vector can then be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
$$
|\vec{c}|=\sqrt{c_{x}^2 + c_{y}^2}
$$
To find the resultant direction, use inverse tan to calculate the angle of the vector using the lengths of its components.
$$
\theta_{c} = \tan^{-1}(\frac{c_y}{c_x})
$$
### Multiplying vectors and scalars
The product of a vector multiplied by a scalar is a vector with a magnitude of the vector multiplied by the scalar with the same direction as the original vector.
$$\vec{v} × s = (|\vec{v}|×s)[\theta_{v}]$$
!!! example
$$3 \text{ m} · 47 \text{ ms}^{-1}[N20°E] = 141 \text{ ms}^{-1}[N20°E]$$
## 2.1 - Motion
### Models
A **scientific model** is a simplification of a system based on assumptions used to explain or make predictions for that system.
!!! note "Definition"
- **System**: An object or a connected group of objects.
- **Point particle assumption**: An assumption that models a system as a blob of matter. It is more reliable if the size and shape of the object(s) do not matter much.
- **Uniform motion**: The type of motion in which the speed of an object is constant.
### Displaying motion
Motion can be expressed visually using a **motion diagram** or a **position-time graph**.
// TODO: insert motion diagram here because kognity bad
A **position-time graph** expands on the motion diagram by specifying a precise **position** value on the vertical axis in addition to time on the horizontal axis. The line of best fit indicates the object's speed, as well as if it is accelerating or decelerating.
<img src="/resources/images/position-time-graph.png" width=700>(Source: Kognity)</img>
When the slope is:
- linear, the object is moving at a constant speed.
- exponential, the object is accelerating.
- logarithmic, the object is decelerating.
