PHYSICS NOTES: VECTORS (NEET STYLE)

1. Scalar: Only magnitude


Vector: Magnitude + Direction

2. Unit Vectors: i, j, k
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k

3. Magnitude:
|A| = √(Ax² + Ay² + Az²)

4. Unit Vector:
A■ = A / |A|

5. Resolution:
Ax = A cosθ
Ay = A sinθ

6. Addition:
R = √(A² + B² + 2AB cosθ)

Special Cases:
θ=0 → A+B
θ=90 → √(A²+B²)
θ=180 → |A-B|

7. Dot Product:
A.B = AB cosθ

8. Cross Product:
A×B = AB sinθ (Right hand rule)

9. Unit Vector Relations:


i.j=0, i×j=k (cyclic)

10. Projection:
A on B = (A.B)/|B|

Quick Tips:
cos → dot
sin → cross
