Click on any topic to expand and view its exercises. Each section includes step-by-step solutions and real-world applications.
6.1 – Vectors and Scalars
Rectangular coordinates, position vectors, magnitude, unit vector
This section introduces the rectangular coordinate system, scalars and vectors, position vectors, magnitude of a vector, scalar multiplication, and unit vectors. You'll learn to represent vectors in component form and find their magnitudes and directions.
Vector basics & operations
6.2 – Addition, Subtraction & Translation
Triangle law, parallelogram law, difference, translation
This section covers vector addition using the triangle and parallelogram laws, vector subtraction, and translation by a vector. You'll learn to combine vectors geometrically and algebraically, and apply translation to geometric figures.
Addition, subtraction, translation
6.3 – Geometric & Real-World Applications
Isosceles triangles, parallelograms, projectile motion, relative velocity
This section applies vectors to solve geometric problems involving isosceles triangles and parallelograms, and real-world problems including projectile motion, relative velocity, and navigation with crosswinds.
Geometry, physics & engineering applications
