Motion in A Plane

This document discusses motion in a plane and defines scalar and vector quantities. It explains that scalar quantities only have magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Vector quantities obey the triangle and parallelogram laws of addition. The document also describes displacement vectors, adding and subtracting vectors using the triangle and parallelogram laws, and scalar and cross products of vectors.

Scalar (dot) product of vectors


Scalar product of two vectors is the
product of magnitude of the two
vectors with the product of Cosine of
the angle between the two vectors.

Cross product of vectors


Cross product of two vectors is the
product of magnitude of the two
vectors with the product of Sine of the
angle between the two vectors and
having a direction perpendicular to the
plane containing both the vectors.
