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: only magnitude (e.g., mass, speed)
  • Vector: both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force)
  • Vectors are represented with arrows
  • Use triangle or parallelogram law for vector addition
  • Vector addition is commutative: A + B = B + A
  • Vector addition is associative: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
  • Scalar multiplication: kA has magnitude |k|A, direction same (k>0) or opposite (k<0)
  • Dot product: A·B = AB cosθ — scalar result
  • Cross product: A×B = AB sinθ — vector result, perpendicular to A and B

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The path of a projectile is parabolic only when air resistance is present.

Centripetal force is a new kind of force that appears in circular motion.

At the highest point of a projectile, the velocity is zero.

Memory Tips
