Displacement is a distance and a direction ... So far, we have only met scalar acceleration, eg \(5 m\,s^{-2}\). Vector acceleration is a scalar acceleration and a direction, eg \(5 m\,s ...

The direction of a vector can be given in a written description, or drawn as an arrow. The length of an arrow represents the magnitude of the quantity. Displacement is the overall distance from a ...

All the vector operations we have considered thus far are applicable to functions commonly referred to as fields. A field is a function that describes a physical quantity at all points in space. A ...
