2 Changing units 1 minute = 60 seconds
Chain-link conversion - an example: 1 minute = 60 seconds Note: this does not imply 60 = 1, or 1/60 = 1!

14 Components of vectors Resolving vector components The inverse process

15 Unit vectors They have length equal to unity, and they point respectively along the x, y and z axes of a right handed orthogonal coordinate system Note: q is always measured in a right handed sense around the z-axis.

16 The scalar product, or dot product
They scalar product represents the product of the magnitude of one vector and the component of the second vector along the direction of the first

17 The scalar product in component form
Because: This is the property of orthogonality

18 The vector product, or cross product

21 Projectile equations of motion

22 Uniform circular motion
Although v does not change, the direction of the motion does, i.e. the velocity (a vector) changes. Thus, there is an acceleration associated with the motion. We call this a centripetal acceleration. Since v does not change, the acceleration must be perpendicular to the velocity.

23 Analyzing the motion

24 Acceleration

25 Relative motion Position: Velocity: Acceleration:
