3. Basics of Vector
❖ Difference between vector and scalar
Scalar Vector
1. The quantities which has magnitude and direction are
vector quantities
1. The quantities which has only magnitude, and no
direction, are scalar quantities
2. The vector quantities are more than one dimensional
quantities
2. The scalar quantities are one dimensional
quantities
3. The vector can not be divided with another vector
quantities
3. The scalar can be divided with another scalar
quantities
4. Number (Magnitude), direction (Unit vector) and unit
is required to represent vector quantities
4. Number (Magnitude) and unit is only required to
represent scalar quantities
5. E. g. Velocity, Force
5. E. g. Mass, Time

❑ As Pythagoras theorem
𝐶2 = (𝐵 + 𝐴 cos 𝜃)2+(𝐴 sin 𝜃)2
𝐶2 = 𝐵2 + 2𝐴𝐵 cos 𝜃 + (𝐴 cos 𝜃)2+(𝐴 sin 𝜃)2
𝐶2 = 𝐵2 + 2𝐴𝐵 cos 𝜃 + 𝐴2
