Vectors and Scalars
Vectors
-
Indicated by the cardinal points (N, E, W, S)
-
It is commonly used to measure angles counterclockwise to the positive x axis (which is independent in every cuadrant)
.
To calculate the angle of the vector formed with the x axis, an operation like this is made

Components of a vector

As such, the Pythagoras theorem still applies
Each vector can be divided into two segments, x and y (rectangular components of a vector)
These create a right angle, in which we can use trigonometric functions as we would do with a normal right- angle triangle
Every phenomenon requieres a measrement so it can be understood. In the physical world there are two main parts that can be measured, vectors and scalars
Vectors, in this case, is a physical quantity defined by its magnitude, direction and sense. (represented by a line with an arrowhead for its direction
