Introduction
The study of physics is important because physics is one of the most fundamental sciences, and one of the first applications of the pure study, mathematics, to practical situations.

Vectors
Vectors show magnitude and displacement, drawn as a ray.
Vector addition
Vectors may be added graphically, head to tail.
Vector additional II
Components of vectors
Manipulating vectors graphically is insightful but difficult when striving for numeric accuracy. Vector components provide a numeric method of representation. Any vector is built from an x component and a y component. Any vector may be decomposed into its x component using V*cos and its y component using V*sin (where is the angle the vector V sweeps out from 0).
Unit vectors
Assume vectors of magnitude 1 with no units exist in each of the three standard dimensions. The x direction is termed I, the y direction is termed j, and the z direction, k. A vector is subsequently described by a scalar times each component. A = Axi + Ayj + Azk
+ 4 A = 3i j +6 B = 8i j
What is the dot product A B ? A. zero
B. 14
C. 48 D. 50
E. none of these
4 A = 3i j B = 6k
What is the dot product A B ? A. zero
B. 6
C. +6 D. 42
E. 42
+ 4 A = 3i j +6 B = 8i j
What is the cross product A B ? A. 6 k
B. 6k C. 50k D. 50k
E. none of these
