Vector and

Scalar Quantities
Resultant. Graphical. Component.
Physical quantities are classified
into two:
Scalar is a physical quantity
that has only magnitude.
Vector is a physical quantity
that has both magnitude
and direction.
 MAGNITUDE - the meaning of
magnitude is 'size' or 'quantity’
 DIRECTION - It simply means that the
vector is directed from one place to
another.
Displacement (∆d)
A change in position,
 

which has both


magnitude and
direction.
DISPLACEMENT S

∆ 𝑑 =𝑑 2 −𝑑 1
 
Obtain the displacement of a jogger
who started at +4m and ended at
-3m.
 
DISTANCE:

 
Distance (d)
It is a scalar quantity in which direction is not specified.
 

If the displacement from position -3 m to +4 m is -7


m. The distance traveled is 7 m.

=-7 m [S]; d= 7 m
DISTANCE DISPLACEMENT
 Scalar Vectors
Measure how far It depends on the
we moved. sign
Always positive It can be ( - , +)
Direction ( -
means left, +
means right)

Components of a Vector

The word component


means part. Hence, the
components of a vector
means the parts of the a
vector. A vector has an x-
part and a y-part.
Solving for Components of a
Vector
Given a set of axes (x, y)
where a force vector of
316 N has a direction of
35° North of East.

Determine the x-part,


which is adjacent side of
the right triangle.
Solving for Components of a
Vector
Using trigonometric
 

function, we can use the


acronym SOH-CAH-TOA in
finding the x-part.
Solving for Components of a Vector

Since x-part is an adjacent


 

side of the triangle and 316


N is hypotenuse, we will use
the cosine function
