Percent error (fractional uncertainty)

(Actual - estimated)/actual

TERM 7

Scalar quantity

DEFINITION 7

A physical quantity that is described by a single number

TERM 8

Vector quantity

DEFINITION 8

Has both magnitude and direction

TERM 9

Displacement (vector)

DEFINITION 9

A change in the position of an object...both in distance and

direction

TERM 10

Magnitude and

direction

DEFINITION 10

The length of the line shows the vector's MAGNITUDE. While

direction of li e shows direction

A+B= B+A

Order of terms in a vector do not matter. Vector addition

obeys the communitive law

TERM 17

A-B=A+-B

DEFINITION 17

Equivalent vector subtraction formal

TERM 18

3A is parallel to A

while

DEFINITION 18

-3A is antiparallel to A

TERM 19

A x -2 will change

the

DEFINITION 19

magnitude and the direction

TERM 20

Component vector A

DEFINITION 20

A=Ax + Ay

Components are not vectors

Components Ax and Ay of a vector A are just numbers, they

are not vectors themselves.

TERM 22

Ax= Acos@

DEFINITION 22

Ax/A =cos@

TERM 23

Ay/A =sin@

DEFINITION 23

Ay =Asin@

TERM 24

Finding a vector's magnitude from its

components
