Homework
Homework problems are pre-assigned in syllabus
5 problems every week.
All homework problems assigned during a given
week are due in class on the following Monday
unless stated otherwise.
Late Homework will not be accepted

Attendance
Attendance will be checked during each lecture. The only
acceptable excuse for absence is the one authorized by
the Deanship of Student Affairs on their prescribed form.
This excused should be presented to the instructor no
later than one week following the resumption of class
attendance. For any unexcused absence, 0.5 marks will be
deducted from the attendance grade. Any student having
more then 9 unexcused absences will receive a grade of
DN for the course.

Review of Vectors and

Scalars
A Vector quantity has both magnitude and
direction
A Scalar quantity has magnitude only

 Scalars (e.g) Vectors

distance
(e.g.)

speed
mass
temperature
pure numbers
time
pressure
area, volume
charge
energy

displacement
velocity
acceleration
force
weight (force)
momentum

Vectors
Can be represented by an arrow (called the
vector)
Length of the vector represents the
magnitude of the quantity
Symbols for vectors:

(e.g. force) F ,or F (bold type)
