    Vectors - Year 1 FY Whereas a coordinate represents a position in space, a vector represents a displacement in space. a_B A vector has 2 properties: A ae B =a AB = —BA and the two vectors are parallel, equal in magnitude but in opposite directions. * Direction A + Magnitude (i.e. length) — BB {Triangle taw for vector addition: If P and Q are points then PQ is 7B +BC = AC the vector between them. a a ee 7 j ahem c P a a+b - The vector of multiple vectors is If two vectors P@ and known as the resultant vector. the same magnitude and ptrnspieeheietievenreyitieneen direction, they're the same + This might seem vector and are parallel. Nmet's Selon erste Q think the vector P S the movement Siren pot in spree opel R Vector subtraction is defined using vector addition and negation: a-b=a+(-b) af <=" The zero vector 0 (a bold 0), represents no movement. PO +QP =0 0 3 In 2D: 0 = (3) * Barob>2(za+4b) A scalar is a normal number, which can be used to ‘scale’ a vector. + The direction will be the same. + But the magnitude will be different (unless the scalar is 1). a 2 EF opposite cirection. ~sa 2 Any vector parallel to the vector a can be written as Aa, where J is a scalar. The implication is that if we can write one vector as a multiple of another, then we can show they are parallel. “Show 2a + 4b and 3a + 6b are parallel”. 3a + 6b = (a + 2b) + parallel gasue< 2442) In the diagram, PO =a, OS =b, SR =cand PT =d Find in terms of a, b, e and d: a OT b PR © TS a7R -* = GR +PR b) fArarkrs -ard c) TS = -dtarh 3 .> d) Th= -d4at ABCD is a trapezium with AB parallel to DC and DC M divides DC such that DM: MC = 2:1.
