Vectors
• Vectors indicate magnitude and direction• Vectors can be represented by arrow-
tipped line segment– Length of line indicate magnitude– Arrow points in direction of vector
• Sum of any two vectors can be found graphically– Generally, add the vectors tip to tail– Sum is called the resultant

cosθ = a/htherefore a = h cosa = h cosθθ
h = 3km
a = 3 cos20a = 3 cos20°°
a = 2.82kma = 2.82km
sinθ = o/htherefore o = h sino = h sinθθ
o = 3 sin20°o = 3 sin20°

Forces
• Forces are vectors– Because acceleration has direction!
• Concurrent forces act on an object at the same time
• Force in one direction does not affect the force in another
