Vectors in 2 Dimensions

Concept, Examples, and Practice


Problems
Introduction to Vectors
• A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude
and direction.

• In 2D, vectors are represented as:


• v = (x, y)

• Where x and y are the components of the


vector along the x-axis and y-axis.
Representation of Vectors
• Vectors in 2D are represented geometrically as
directed line segments.

• Components:
• 1. Horizontal Component (x-axis)
• 2. Vertical Component (y-axis)
Vector Operations
• 1. Addition: u + v = (x₁ + x₂, y₁ + y₂)
• 2. Subtraction: u - v = (x₁ - x₂, y₁ - y₂)
• 3. Scalar Multiplication: k * v = (k * x, k * y)
• 4. Magnitude: |v| = √(x² + y²)
• 5. Dot Product: u · v = x₁ * x₂ + y₁ * y₂
Practice Problems 1-5
• 1. Find the magnitude of the vector (3, 4).
• 2. Calculate the sum of vectors u = (1, 2) and v
= (3, 4).
• 3. Subtract the vector v = (5, 7) from u = (8, 2).
• 4. Multiply the vector (3, -2) by 4.
• 5. Find the dot product of vectors (2, 3) and (4,
-1).
Practice Problems 6-10
• 6. Determine the unit vector in the direction
of (6, 8).
• 7. Calculate the magnitude of vector (-7, 1).
• 8. Find the scalar multiple 2 * (5, -3).
• 9. Find the vector sum: (0, 3) + (-2, -1).
• 10. Verify if vectors (1, 0) and (0, 1) are
perpendicular.
Practice Problems 11-15
• 11. Calculate the dot product: (1, 2) · (3, 4).
• 12. Find the vector difference: (7, -3) - (4, 1).
• 13. Find the magnitude of vector (1, -1).
• 14. Determine the sum: (3, 6) + (-3, -6).
• 15. Check if (2, 5) and (5, -2) are orthogonal.
Practice Problems 16-20
• 16. Multiply vector (3, 7) by -2.
• 17. Calculate the magnitude of (4, -3).
• 18. Find the direction angle of (1, √3).
• 19. Determine if vectors (6, -2) and (-3, 1) are
parallel.
• 20. Resolve vector (5, 5) into horizontal and
vertical components.
Summary
• 1. Vectors have both magnitude and direction.
• 2. Basic operations include addition,
subtraction, scalar multiplication, and dot
product.
• 3. Magnitude is calculated using the
Pythagorean theorem.
• 4. Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1 and
indicate direction.
