Course overview

Learn about quantities and theor difference.
Basics of vectors
A scalar quantity is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass. A vector has more than one number associated with it. A simple example isvelocity. It has a magnitude, called speed, as well as a direction, like North or Southwest or 10 degrees west of North

And formation of vectors , position vectors and much more

Vector and its formation

Length of a vector or magnitiude of a vector and how to evalute its value.
Draw a vector triangle. When you draw the horizontal and vertical components, you end up with a right triangle. The magnitude of the vector is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle so you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate it. Rearrange the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude.

Magnitude of vector and unit vector

Learn how to find direction ratios and direction cosines for a vector.
How to convert a given vector to unit vector to find its direction cosines.
Geometrical meaning of direction cosines and pyq on vector algebra
 Now that we have understood what direction cosines are, we can move to direction ratios. Any numbers that are proportional to the direction cosines are calleddirection ratios, usually represented as a, b, c. So we can write, a = kl, b = km, c = kn where k is a constant.

Direction ratios and Direction Cosines

vector algebra may mean: Linear algebra, specifically the basic algebraic operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication

Algebra of vectors

Dot product of two vectors ā and b is basically a scalar quantity that is equal to the sum of pair-wise products of coordinate vectors a and b. Dot product is also known as scalar productor inner product.
Learn how to find it and its geometrical meaninga and mathematical expression

Dot product and its expressions

Section formula, polygon law and tyoes of vectors


Let us consider that the line segment connecting P and Q is divided by a point R lying on PQ. The point R can divide the line segment PQ in two ways: internally and externally. Let us consider both these cases individually.

Case 1: Line segment PQ is divided by R internally

Let us consider that the point R divides the line segment PQ in the ratio m: n, given that m and n are positive scalar quantities we can say that,

mRQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = nPR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Consider the triangles, ∆ORQ and ∆OPR.

RQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = OQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ – OR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = b⃗  – r⃗ 
PR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = OR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ – OP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = r⃗  – a⃗ 

Therefore,

m(b⃗  – r⃗ ) = n(r⃗  – a⃗ )

Rearranging this equation we get:

r⃗  = mb⃗ +na⃗ m+n

Therefore the position vector of point R dividing P and Q internally in the ratio m:n is given by:

OR→ = mb⃗ +na⃗ m+n

Case 2: Line segment PQ is divided by R externally

Let us consider that the point R divides the line segment PQ in the ratio m: n, given that m and n are positive scalar quantities we can say that,


mRQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = -nPR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Consider the triangles, ∆ORQ and ∆OPR.

RQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = OQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ – OR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = b⃗  – r⃗ 
PR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = OR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ – OP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = r⃗  – a⃗ 

Therefore,

m(b⃗  – r⃗ ) = -n(r⃗  – a⃗ )

Rearranging this equation we get:

r⃗  = mb⃗ –na⃗ m–n

Therefore the position vector of point R dividing P and Q internally in the ratio m:n is given by:

OR→ = mb⃗ –na⃗ m–n

What if the point R dividing the line segment joining points P and Q is the midpoint of line segment AB?

In that case, if R is the midpoint, then R divides the line segment PQ in the ratio 1:1, i.e. m = n = 1.The position vector of point R dividing will be given as:

OR→ = b⃗ +a⃗ 2

And much more in this lesson for iit jee math
If one vector is equal to the sum of scalar multiples of other vectors, it is said to be a linear combination of the other vectors.

For example, suppose a = 2b + 3c

Note that 2b is a scalar multiple and 3c is a scalar multiple. Thus, ais a linear combination of b and c.
