Vectors Operations

Vectors operations.pdf [pdf]

Operations on vectors are the vectors that are performed especially on vector quantities[1], such quantities have both magnitude and direction, and operating them with normal rules of mathematics is not possible. So we have to use various vector operations that include[2]

  • Addition of Two Vectors

  • Subtraction of Two Vectors

  • Multiplication of Vector with Scalar

  • Product of Two Vectors ( Dot and Cross-Product)

Definition

A vector is an oriented segment characterized by:

  • The module: is equal to the length of the segment [AB]

  • The holder: is defined by the line that carries the segment (Δ)

  • The trend: designates the vector's orientation or the movement direction of a mobile.
