Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Motion in a Plane after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Scalar quantities have magnitude only.
  • Vector quantities have magnitude and direction.
  • Vector equality needs both magnitude and direction to match.
  • Vector addition is commutative and associative.
  • Vector subtraction is addition of the negative vector.
  • Any plane vector can be resolved into x and y components.
  • Position vector gives the location of a particle.
  • Displacement depends only on initial and final points.
  • Velocity is tangent to the path.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Displacement and path length are the same quantity.

A vector is equal to another vector if their magnitudes are the same.

A null vector has a direction like any other vector, often taken as along the x-axis or some arbitrary direction.
