Position vector and displacement


This video represents displacement in terms of initial and final position vectors. Displacement has been shown as a vector starting at initial position vector and ending at final position vector.




SYNOPSIS:



Concept of Distance and Displacement




This video explains the basic difference between distance and displacement.
Displacement is the shortest distance/path between two points. Watch for more...

Unit Vector and its Significance



This video gives description of a unit vector along with its significance. 
It illustrates how a unit vector is used to represent a specific direction and how it is used to specify components of a given vector in the direction of unit vector.





SYNOPSIS:



Resolution of vectors into components



This video explains the process of breaking down a vector into its components. 
For simplicity purposes, a vector with components only along two axes has been considered.





SYNOPSIS:


A vector with components along x, y, z axes



In this video, the formula for magnitude of a vector, with components along all three mutually  perpendicular axes i.e x, y, z, has been derived. Basic understanding of finding out the magnitude of a vector is important.

Resolution of vectors



This video explains the process of breaking a vector into its components. 
For simplicity we have taken a vector with components along x and y axes only.






Synopsis:


Multiplication of vectors - Vector product



This video describes Vector Product or Cross product of two vectors.




SYNOPSIS:




Multiplication of vectors - Scalar Product



This video describes Scalar Product or Dot product of two vectors.
Scalar product is very important to understand the projection of one vector over another vector.



Analytical Method of Vector Addition



In this video, we derive the formula for addition of two vectors and 
the angle made by resultant vector is also obtained.




Subtraction of two vectors



This video describes how we can subtract two vectors by using vector addition techniques.

Polygon Law of Vector Addition



This video describes the Polygon law of vector addition.

The method illustrates how to add more than two vectors by connecting the head of first vector with the tail of second vector. In this method we displace the vectors so as to complete a polygon.




Equality of vectors and Addition of two vectors.



This video describes the conditions when two vectors can be said to be equal. 
It also explains addition of two vectors using 
Triangular law and Parallelogram law of vector addition.



Scalar and Vector Quantities







Now and then, in our student life, we have come across topic - Vectors and Scalars.
This video is first in series towards explaining Vectors and Scalars in a bit of detail.
