When you think of a vector, many people probably call up Vector's definition (from Despicable Me). He says: It's a mathematical term. A quantity represented by an arrow with both direction and ...

Recently, I was talking about vectors. At that time, I had to stop and recall how I had been representing vectors. Ideally, I should stick with the same notation I used in Basics: Vectors and Vector ...

A vector can be represented by a line segment labelled with an arrow. A vector between two points A and B is described as: \(\overrightarrow{AB}\), \(\mathbf{a}\) or \(\underline{a}\). The vector can ...

We can't say because there is insufficient information. A direction is required before we can describe the force properly. Displacement is a distance and a direction, eg \(170m\) south. Velocity is a ...

Last month, we saw how you can use vectors to define complex circuits and determine current. This month, we'll show you how to use vector diagrams and some simple math to calculate neutral currents in ...
