Scalars and Vectors Overview by hakim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This chapter discusses scalar and vector quantities. Scalars have only magnitude, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Examples of scalars include mass, time, and temperature, while vectors include displacement, velocity, and force. Vectors are represented using boldfaced symbols and have direction shown by arrows. Vector addition and subtraction can be done graphically using parallelograms or triangles. Components of a vector can be found by resolving into x and y components. The resultant of s
