Experiment 3 – Forces are Vectors
www.asc.ohio-state.eduExperiment 3 – Forces are Vectors Objectives Understand that some quantities in physics are vectors, others are scalars. Be able to perform vector addition graphically (tip-tail rule) and with components. Understand vector components. Be able to apply these concepts to displacement and force problems.
Introduction to Tensor Calculus for General Relativity
web.mit.eduScalars and vectors are invariant under coordinate transformations; vector components are not. The whole point of writing the laws of physics (e.g., F~= m~a) using scalars and vectors is that these laws do not depend on the coordinate system imposed by the physicist.

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 ...

When using vectors to describe physical quantities, like velocity, acceleration, and force, we can move away from this abstract definition, and stick with a more concrete notion. We can view them as arrows in space, of a ...
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

It is often of interest to know whether a particular vector is in the span of a certain set of vectors. The next examples show how we do this. ⋄ Example 8.1(c): Is v= 3 −2 −4 1
