6.1 Vectors in the Plane
What you’ll learn about • Two-Dimensional Vectors • Vector Operations • Unit Vectors • Direction Angles • Applications of Vectors … and why These topics are important in many real-world applications, such as calculating the effect of the wind on an airplane’s path.
Velocity and Speed The velocity of a moving object is a vector because velocity has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of velocity is speed.
