What is to be learned? • How to get components of a vector using other vectors
Useful (Indeed Vital!) To Know components Parallel vectors with the same magnitude will have the same………………… If vector AB has components ai + bj + ck, then BA will have components……………... -ai – bj – ck
Diversions Sometimes need alternative route! B A C E D AE = AB + BC + CD + DE
Diversions Sometimes need alternative route! B A C E D AE = AB + BC + CD + DE
Diversions Sometimes need alternative route! B A C E D AE = AB + BC + CD + DE
Diversions Sometimes need alternative route! B A C E D AE = AB + BC + CD + DE
Using Components AB = 2i + 4j + 5k and BC = 5i + 8j + 3k AC = 7i + 12j + 8k DE = 6i + 5j + k and FE = -3i + 4j + 5k DF = 9i + j – 4k = AB + BC = 3i – 4j – 5k EF = DE + EF
