===About Vectors===
[[Vector]] quantities include:
*[[Force]]s <math>\overrightarrow{F}</math> - A push or a pull which has a [[magnitude]] (size) and a direction.*[[Displacement]] <math>\overrightarrow{s}</math> - The distance and direction from one point in space to another.*[[Velocity]] <math>\overrightarrow{v}</math> - The [[speed]] and direction of that an [[object]]is moving.*[[Acceleration]] <math>\overrightarrow{a}</math> - The rate of change of [[velocity]] and the direction of this change.If a quantity does not include direction, then it is called a [[scalar]], not a [[vector]]. ===Representing Vectors===: [[Vector]]s are written with either an underline (<math>\underline{F}</math>,<math>\underline{s}</math>,<math>\underline{v}</math>,<math>\underline{a}</math>) or an arrow above (<math>\overrightarrow{F}</math>,<math>\overrightarrow{s}</math>,<math>\overrightarrow{v}</math>,<math>\overrightarrow{a}</math>).: [[Vector]]s are often drawn on [[diagram]]s. They are drawn as an arrow because an arrow can show the [[magnitude]] (the length of the arrow) and the direction (which way the arrow is pointing).{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:Vectora.png|center|200px]]|[[File:Vectorb.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The [[vector]] <math>\underline{a}</math> is shown by this arrow. The length of the arrow represents the [[magnitude]] of the [[vector]] and the direction of the arrow shows the direction of the [[vector]].| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The [[vector]] <math>\underline{b}</math> is shown by this arrow. The length of the arrow represents the [[magnitude]] of the [[vector]] and the direction of the arrow shows the direction of the [[vector]].|-| style="height:100px; width:400px; text-align:left;" colspan= "2"|The arrow <math>\underline{b}</math> is shorter than the arrow <math>\underline{a}</math> so the [[vector]] <math>\underline{b}</math> has a smaller [[magnitude]] than <math>\underline{a}</math>. It can also be seen that [[vector]] <math>\underline{b}</math> has a different direction to [[vector]] <math>\underline{a}</math>.|}: Using a [[diagram]] two [[vector]] quantities can be added together by drawing the arrows end to end.{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:Vectora+b.png|center|300px]]|[[File:Vectora+b=c.png|center|300px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The two [[vector]]s can be added by placing the start of one [[vector]] at the end of the other.| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |A new [[vector]] <math>\underline{c}</math> is created from the addition of <math>\underline{a}</math> and <math>\underline{b}</math>. <math>\underline{a}+\underline{b}=\underline{c}</math>|-| style="height:100px; width:400px; text-align:left;" colspan= "2"|If the [[vector]]s are drawn [[accuracy|accurately]] in [[length]] using a [[ruler]] and in direction using a [[protractor]] the [[length]] and direction of the new [[vector]] can be [[measure]]d from the [[diagram]]. This type of [[Scale Diagram]] can be used to find the [[magnitude]] and direction of the new [[vector]] without calculation.|} ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0008158770/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0008158770&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ec31595e720e1529e49876c3866fff6e ''Vector, pages 143, 157, 162-3, GCSE Physics;
