FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the Tip to Tail Method in vector addition?
Back
The Tip to Tail Method is a graphical way to add vectors by placing the tail of one vector at the tip of the previous vector, allowing for the resultant vector to be drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate displacement when given multiple movements in different directions?
Back
Displacement is calculated by determining the net change in position, taking into account the direction of each movement. It is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final position, along with the direction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a Resultant Vector?
Back
A Resultant Vector is the single vector that represents the sum of two or more vectors, showing the overall effect of the combined vectors in terms of magnitude and direction.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define a Vector in physics.
Back
A Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude (size) and direction, represented graphically by an arrow.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Back
Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total path length traveled, while displacement is a vector quantity that represents the shortest straight-line distance from the initial to the final position, along with the direction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the magnitude of a vector?
Back
The magnitude of a vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem if the vector components are known. For a vector with components (x, y), the magnitude is calculated as √(x² + y²).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of direction in vector quantities?
Back
Direction is crucial in vector quantities because it determines how the vector interacts with other vectors and affects the resultant vector when multiple vectors are combined.
