Ch-03 Vectors: Lect-01

This document is the first lecture on vectors. It introduces vectors as physical quantities that have magnitude, direction, and obey vector addition laws. Scalars are contrasted as quantities that only have magnitude. Examples of vectors include displacement, velocity, force, and acceleration, while scalars include mass, distance, speed, and temperature. The document explains how to represent vectors graphically with arrows and defines important vector terms like magnitude, direction, angle between vectors, parallel/antiparallel, collinear/coplanar, unit/zero vectors. It includes practice problems drawing and finding angles between vectors.
