The Fundamental Content

 Understand and be able to use:
⃑
𝑢
Unit Vector: 𝑢̂ = |𝑢|
𝑢̂ is the unit vector in the direction of 𝑢
⃑.
𝑥
⃑ is a vector of the form 𝑢
𝑢 ⃑ = 𝑥𝑖̂ + 𝑦𝑗̂ + 𝑧𝑘̂ .
⃑ = (𝑦) or 𝑢
𝑧
|𝑢| is the magnitude (length) of vector 𝑢
⃑

and |𝑢| = √𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 𝑧 2
 ⃑ .𝑣
𝑢 ⃑
Scalar Product: 𝑐𝑜𝑠∅ = |𝑢||𝑣|

∅ is the angle between vectors 𝑢

⃑ and 𝑣.
𝑢
⃑ . 𝑣 is the dot product of vectors 𝑢
⃑ and 𝑣.
𝑥1 𝑥2
⃑ . 𝑣 = (𝑦1 ) . (𝑦2 ) = 𝑥1 𝑥2 + 𝑦1 𝑦2 + 𝑧1 𝑧2
𝑢
