Vector Analysis Summary for Physics Students

Explaining how to add two vectors as required in AS physics and AS maths. All you ever wanted to know in about 3 minutes.

Vectors - Finding Magnitude or Length. I give the formula, and do a couple examples of finding the magitude, or length, or a vector. Nothing heavy! For more free videos visit JustMathTutoring.com

Vector Basics - Drawing Vectors/ Vector Addition. In this video, I discuss the basic notion of a vector, and how to add vectors together graphically as well as what it means graphically to multiply a vector by a scalar. For more free math videos, visit JustMathTutoring.com

Using vectors to determine the horizontal acceleration when force is applied at an angle.

Expressing a vector as the scaled sum of unit vectors

Vectors - The Dot Product. I show how to compute the dot product of two vectors, along with some useful theorems and results involving dot products. 3 complete examples are shown. For more free math videos, visit JustMathTutoring.com

Linear Algebra: Introduction to Vectors

Fundamentals of Physics (PHYS 200) In this lecture, Professor Shankar discusses motion in more than one dimension. Vectors are introduced and discussed in multiple dimensions. Vector magnitude and direction are also explained. Null vectors, minus vectors, unit and velocity vectors are discussed along with their properties. Finally, several specific problems are solved to demonstrate how vectors can be added, and problems of projectile motion are expounded. Complete course materials are ...

Trigonometry for physics: How to break ("resolve") an overall vector into components; and how to determine the magnitude and direction of an overall vector from its components. These videos are offered on a "pay what you like" basis. You can pay for the use of the videos at my website:...

More on unit vector notation. Showing that adding the x and y components of two vectors is equivalent to adding the vectors visually using the head-to-tail method

projection onto x-axis of two added vectors

the speed-- but you also have to know whether it goes this way or that way. So there has to be a direction. Velocity is a vector and acceleration is a vector and today we're going to learn how to work with these vectors. A vector has a length and a vector has a direction and that's why we actually represent it by an arrow. We all have seen... this is a vector. Remember this-- this is a vector. If you look at the vector head-on, you see a dot. If you look at the vector from behind, you see ...

Using matrices to figure out if some combination of 2 vectors can create a 3rd vector

Rulers, hammers and a piece of string - what could possibly go wrong in this film about vectors? More at www.sixtysymbols.com

Vector fields and the concept of parallel transport of a vector are introduced. Cartesian tensors are defined using the concept of tensor product which "glues" two vectors together. This leads us to scalar products of tensors and vectors, non-comutative property, the unit tensor, and the composition of a tensor from tensor products of the Cartesian unit vectors.

From a Japanese TV show - a real life example of adding vectors and relative motion. The truck is moving at 100km/hr and a ball is shot backwards at 100 km/hr, resulting in it coming to a complete stop.
