Slide1Section 4.1 – Vectors (in component form)Vector – directed distance

Slide2move vectors to the origin so that computations can be done.initial point terminal point

Slide3Magnitude of a vector – the length of the vectorFind the magnitude of Find the magnitude of

Slide4Given, find:

Slide5Unit Vector – Vector whose magnitude is 1.Find the unit vector having the same direction as  v . Find the unit vector having the same direction as  v .

Slide6Write the vector v  in the form a i  + b j  given its magnitude and the angle    it makes with the positive x-axis. 8

Slide7Write the vector v  in the form a i  + b j  given its magnitude and the angle    it makes with the positive x-axis. 3
