Questions and Answers 100% Solved
Difference between a scalar and a vector - vector has magnitude (size)
and direction, whereas scalar only has magnitude (size).
Examples of scalars - speed, mass, time, energy, power
Examples of vectors - displacement, veloci...
convert length into appropriate quantity (using scale) to find magnitude of
resultant vector
Resolving vectors into two perpendicular components - ✔✔
Resolving components along, and perpendicular to, an inclined slope -
✔✔slide down slop = sine
force dow slope = sintheta
Conditions for equilibrium of two or three coplanar forces acting at a point -
✔✔total resultant force equals zero
or
if the vectors representing the forces are added together they will form a
closed triangle.
Two conditions for a body to remain in equilibrium - ✔✔1. resultant force
acting on body is zero
2. resultant moment about any point is zero
object could be stationary OR travelling at constant velocity
Definition of the moment of a force about a point - ✔✔force multiplied by
the perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action of the force.
