In multiple dimensions, specifying and objects position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration requires the use of vector notation. As we will see in the coming chapters, other quantities such as force and momentum are also vectors. A vector quantity has both a magnitude and a direction. For example, a person can walk a distance of 6 meters at an angle of 30o. By convention the angle is specified from the positive x-axis (East) unless otherwise specified. While this notation is useful for visualizing vectors, as we will see shortly, it can be rather cumbersome when trying to add and subtract vectors. When working with vectors, it is usually easier to first express them in component form. This is done by using the properties of right triangles.
1) Express the vector above in component form.
2) What is the magnitude of the vector r v = -5m/s i + 8m/s j
3) What is the direction of the above vector?

Lab 4: Introduction & Instructions Centripetal Acceleration Introduction Velocity is a vector with both a magnitude and a direction. Since acceleration is a measure of a change in velocity over time, it seems reasonable that either the magnitude of the velocity vector could be changing, or the direction, or both. If magnitude is changing only, then the motion occurs in one dimension and the principles of algebra can be applied to the equations of motion. But suppose the opposite case...

BOX 5.1 The Polar Coordinate Basis Consider ordinary polar coordinates r and 0 (see figure 5.3). Note that the distance between two points with the same r coordinate but separated by an infinitesimal step do in 0 is r do (by the definition of angle). So there are (at least) two ways to define a basis vector for the direction (which we define to be tangent to the r = constant curve): (1) we could define a basis vector es...
