An equilibrant vector is a vector that is the exact opposite of some other vector in both magnitude and direction. The simplest example of an equilibrant vector involves a single vector paired with its opposite: If the vector pair above represents two opposing forces, the net effect of being paired together is a cancellation thatContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Finding The Equilibrant Vector”

AP PHYSICS: Vector Addition and Subtraction
A scalar quantity is one that is dimensionless in terms of direction and is expressed in terms that communicate their magnitude. Energy and time are two great examples of such. On the other hand, there are vectors. Unlike scalar quantities, vectors possess both magnitude and direction. For example, an object can be considered to travelContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Vector Addition and Subtraction”
