VECTOR QUANTITY

- Are magnitudes that are described by their magnitude and direction.

Examples:
 Force downward
 Velocity of a car moving east
 Displacement of a pencil thrown upward
 Acceleration towards the west

VECTOR ADDITION

 Resultant is the vector sum of more than one vector.

 Although addition is the word used but it is combining vectors
having different magnitude and direction.

Rules in Vector Addition:

1. When two given vectors are acting on the same direction.

 Add the magnitude of the two vectors top get the resultant.
 For the direction, use the same direction of the given vectors.
2. When two vectors are acting in the opposite direction.
 Subtract the magnitude of the two vectors to get the resultant.
 For the direction, follow the direction of the larger magnitude.
3. When two vectors are forming a 90o angle.
  The diagonal form by the two vectors is the resultant.
 Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant.
4. When two vectors form an oblique triangle.
 The diagonal formed by the two vectors is the resultant.
 Use the cosine and sine law to find the magnitude and direction of
the result.
