Vector Basics and Physical Quantities

Physical Quantities: Defined as anything measurable. Examples include force, mass, and velocity.
Force vs. Mass: Force is direction-dependent, while mass is not.
Vector Definition: A quantity possessing both magnitude (value) and direction.
Scalar Definition: A quantity possessing only magnitude.
Example: 2 Newtons South (Force - Vector) vs. 2 kg of Mangoes (Mass - Scalar).
Distance vs. Displacement:
- Distance: Total path length, scalar (e.g., train route from Delhi to Bihar via UP and Jharkhand).
- Displacement: Shortest distance, vector (e.g., direct flight from Delhi to Bihar).
- Distance is Scalar: Because it involves changing directions, lacking a specific direction.
Symbolic Representation:
- Problem: Writing "Force 10 Newtons in East Direction" is lengthy.
- Solution: Use a coordinate system (x, y, z axes) with unit vectors (i, j, k).
- X-axis: Represented by 'i' (i-cap).
- Y-axis: Represented by 'j' (j-cap).
- Z-axis: Represented by 'k' (k-cap).
- Example: Force = 10 Newtons i-cap (East).
- West Direction: Represented by -i cap.
Unit Vectors: i-cap, j-cap, k-cap are direction indicators with a magnitude of 1.
Combined Forces: Force Vector = 2i + 3j + 5k (Newtons).

Representing and Manipulating Vectors

Vector Representation:
- An arrow indicates direction.
- The arrow's tail is the starting point.
- The arrow's head is the ending point.
- The length of the arrow represents the magnitude.
Parallel Shifting: Vectors can be shifted parallel to themselves without changing their meaning.
Magnitude Calculation:
- If a vector is given as V = a i + b j + c k, then its magnitude |V| = √(a² + b² + c²).
- Example: Force = 2i - 3j + 0k; |Force| = √(2² + (-3)²) = √13.
Direction (Unit Vector) Calculation:
- Direction = Vector / Magnitude.
- Example: Force = 12 Newtons i-cap; Direction = (12 i-cap) / 12 = i-cap.
Finding a Vector with Given Magnitude and Direction:
- If you have a magnitude and a parallel vector, find the unit vector of the parallel vector and multiply it by the desired magnitude.
- Example: Find a vector with magnitude 10 parallel to 2i + 3j + 5k.
  - Unit vector = (2i + 3j + 5k) / √(2² + 3² + 5²) = (2i + 3j + 5k) / √38.
  - Desired vector = 10 * [(2i + 3j + 5k) / √38].

Types of Vectors

Null Vector: A vector with zero magnitude (0i + 0j + 0k).
Parallel Vectors: Vectors with the same direction (angle = 0 degrees).
Anti-Parallel Vectors: Vectors with opposite directions (angle = 180 degrees).
Perpendicular Vectors: Vectors at a 90-degree angle.
Unit Vector: A vector with a magnitude of 1, indicating direction.
Co-initial Vectors: Vectors originating from the same point.
Co-planar Vectors: Vectors lying in the same plane.

Vector Addition and Subtraction

Simple Addition is Invalid: Vectors cannot be added like scalars due to direction.
Vector Addition Formula: R = √(A² + B² + 2ABcosθ), where R is the resultant vector, A and B are the magnitudes of the vectors, and θ is the angle between them.
Example: Forces of 10N and 12N acting in opposite directions.
- R = √(10² + 12² + 2 * 10 * 12 * cos(180)) = √(100 + 144 - 240) = √4 = 2N.
Component Resolution:
- A force at an angle can be resolved into x and y components.
- Adjacent side (to the angle): F cos(θ).
- Opposite side: F sin(θ).
- Important: The angle used determines which component is cosine and which is sine.
Example: A force of 10N at 60 degrees to the y-axis.
- Fx = 10 sin(60)
- Fy = 10 cos(60)

Dot Product (Scalar Product)

Definition: A · B = |A| |B| cosθ, where |A| and |B| are the magnitudes of the vectors, and θ is the angle between them.
Alternative Calculation (when angle is not given): A · B = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz.
Application 1: Finding the Angle Between Two Vectors:
- Use both formulas for the dot product and solve for θ.
- cos θ = (AxBx + AyBy + AzBz) / (|A| |B|).
Application 2: Calculating Work Done:
- Work (W) = Force (F) · Displacement (S).
- Example: Force = 2i + 3j + 11k, Displacement = 2i.
  - Work = (2 * 2) + (3 * 0) + (11 * 0) = 4 Joules.
Application 3: Calculating Power:
- Power (P) = Force (F) · Velocity (V).
Proving Perpendicularity: If A · B = 0, then vectors A and B are perpendicular.

Cross Product (Vector Product)

Definition: A × B results in a new vector that is perpendicular to both A and B.
Calculation: Using a determinant method with i, j, k components.
Result: The cross product of two vectors yields another vector.
Direction: Determined by the right-hand rule (curl fingers from A to B, thumb points in the direction of A × B).
Application 1: Finding a Vector Perpendicular to Two Given Vectors:
- Calculate the cross product of the two vectors.
Application 2: Calculating the Area of a Parallelogram:
- Area = |A × B|, where A and B are the vectors representing the sides of the parallelogram.
Application 3: Calculating the Area of a Triangle:
- Area = 0.5 * |A × B|, where A and B are the vectors representing two sides of the triangle.
Application 4: Calculating Torque (Moment of Force):
- Torque (τ) = r × F, where r is the position vector and F is the force vector.
Angle Calculation (Less Preferred): |A × B| = |A| |B| sinθ. This method is less efficient than using the dot product for angle calculation.
