Lesson A.2.1: Vectors and Scalars
Welcome! In this lesson, you will delve into the exciting concepts of vectors and scalars, crucial for understanding how physical quantities are described in physics.
You will learn about scalars, quantities that have only magnitude, and vectors, quantities that have both magnitude and direction. We will then explore how to represent vectors graphically and perform basic vector operations such as addition and subtraction.
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Differentiate between scalar and vector quantities
- Represent vectors graphically
- Perform basic vector addition and subtraction
