What is a vector, and how can we use it in electrical design? According to the “IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms,” a vector quantity is “any physical quantity whose ...

pre-reqs: trig Think of the following two things. Temperature and wind speed. These are two different things that you could measure, but there is one big difference. Wind speed has two parts to it - ...

(In contrast a scalar quantity has magnitude only - eg, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4...) The diagram above represents a vector. The arrow displays its direction, hence this ...

We can't say because there is insufficient information. A direction is required before we can describe the force properly. Displacement is a distance and a direction, eg \(170m\) south. Velocity is a ...

From a metaphysical point of view, it is important clearly to see the ontological difference between what is studied in mathematics and mathematical physics, respectively. In this respect, the paper ...
