Lecture 3: Vectors
Objectives: In this lecture, students will learn to- add and subtract vectors graphically
- express vectors in unit vector notation
- relate magnitude and direction of a vector to its components
- use the method of components to find sums and differences of vectors
- apply these concepts to example problems
