Magnitude_and_direction_form_of_vectors
Think about how we can represent vectors using their magnitude and direction instead of their components.
Learn the basics of vectors, like that a vector has both magnitude and direction.
Adding_vectors_in_magnitude_and_direction_form
Learn how to add two vectors together that are in magnitude and direction form. We can always use our old friend component form!
Use both scalar multiplication and vector addition or subtraction in the same problem!
Multiply a vector by a scalar to get a new vector.
Convert vectors from magnitude and direction form to component form.
Find the magnitude of a vector given in component form.
Learn about special vectors called unit vectors that have a magnitude of 1.
Apply what you've learned about vectors so far to solve some fun word problems.
Vector_addition_and_subtraction
Combine two vectors by adding or subtracting them to get a new vector.
