www.seas.upenn.edubasis vectors. As shown on Figure 1, the dual basis vectors are perpendicular to all basis vectors with a di erent index, and the scalar product of the dual basis vector with the basis vector of the same index is unity. The basis set for dual vectors enables any dual vector P~ to be written: P~ = P 1~e 1 + P 2e~ 2 = P ~e

people.cs.clemson.eduTwo nonparallel vectors always define a plane, and the angle is the angle between the vectors measured in that plane. Note that if both a and b are unit vectors, then kakkbk= 1, and ab = cos . So, in general if you want to find the cosine of the angle between two vectors a and b, first compute the unit vectors aˆ and bˆ in the directions of a ...

mc.stanford.eduThe e ect of multiplying a vector ~uwith scalars 2.5, 1 and 0.3 is given in Figure 2 in di erent colors. Note that the di erent vectors all lie on top of each other as scalar multiplication of a vector cannot change the direction of the vector, except for reversing it. But scalar multiplication does change the magnitude of ~u! x y ~u (0,0) u~ 2 ...

Scalars, Vectors and Tensors
zeus.plmsc.psu.eduScalars, Vectors and Tensors A scalar is a physical quantity that it represented by a dimensional num-ber at a particular point in space and time. Examples are hydrostatic pres-sure and temperature. A vector is a bookkeeping tool to keep track of two pieces of information (typically magnitude and direction) for a physical quantity. Examples are
