Practise using vector components when adding, subtracting or calculating the magnitude of vectors ahead of your National 5 Maths exam.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Ideally, I should stick with the same notation I used in Basics: Vectors and Vector Addition. But let me go over the different ways you could represent a vector.

Vector components Any vector can be resolved into two components at right angles to each other. These two components when added together have the same effect as the initial single vector.
