    Study Notes

    Vector Operations

    • The angle between vectors A and B is given by:
      • q = arccos((A • B) / (||A|| ||B||))
    • The component of vector A in the direction of vector B is given by:
      • A|| = ( A • B / ||B||2) B
    • The component of vector A perpendicular to vector B is given by:
      • A^ = A - A||
    • The dot product of Cartesian unit vectors:
      • i • i = j • j = k • k = 1
      • i • j = j • k = k • i = 0
    • If A = Axi + Ayj + Azk and B = Bxi + Byj + Bzk, their dot product is given by:
      • A • B = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz

    Resultant Vector Magnitude

    • The magnitude of the resultant vector R of two vectors A and B is given by:
      • ||R|| = √(||A||2 + ||B||2 + 2||A|| ||B|| cos q)
      • where q is the angle between A and B.

    Special Cases of Vector Addition

    • When the angle between A and B is 0° (parallel):
      • ||R|| = ||A|| + ||B||
      • ||R|| is maximum
    • When the angle between A and B is 180° (anti-parallel):
      • ||R|| = ||A|| - ||B||
      • ||R|| is minimum
    • When the angle between A and B is 90° (perpendicular):
      • ||R|| = √(||A||2 + ||B||2)
    • For equal magnitude vectors (||A|| = ||B|| = a) with an angle of 120°:
      • ||R|| = a

    Fundamental and Derived Quantities

    • Fundamental quantities:
      • Independent physical quantities that form the basis for all other quantities.
      • Examples: Mass, time
    • Derived quantities:
      • Quantities expressed in terms of fundamental quantities.
      • Examples: Speed, volume

    Trigonometric Ratios

    • The following ratios of a right-angled triangle are called trigonometric ratios:
      • sin q = (opposite side) / (hypotenuse)
      • cos q = (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse)
      • tan q = (opposite side) / (adjacent side)
      • cot q = (adjacent side) / (opposite side)
      • sec q = (hypotenuse) / (adjacent side)
      • cosec q = (hypotenuse) / (opposite side)

    Trigonometric Identities

    • sin2q + cos2q = 1
    • 1 + tan2q = sec2q
    • 1 + cot2q = cosec2q
