JSS 1: VECTOR QUANTITY

-
A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Vector quantities are essential in understanding and solving problems in physics and engineering as they provide a complete description of physical quantities that involve direction.
Examples of Vector Quantities
1. Displacement
2. Velocity
3. Acceleration
4. Force
5. Momentum

Applications of Vector Quantities
1. Use for navigation by airplanes and ships to know their displacement and velocity
2. Use in physics to calculate forces in mechanics. 
3. Use in Engineering for designing structures with force analysis
Assignment
Define the following:
1. Displacement
2. Velocity
3. Acceleration
4. Force
5. Momentum
