size of a measurement

The change in position of an object from a point of reference

The total path length travelled by an object

A fixed point from which coordinates are measured.

vector quantity that locates a unique point in space relative to an origin.

method used to recombine component sums or vectors that are perpendicular to one another.

When adding vectors, they should be added arrow head of one to the tail of the next. Scale and direction should be maintained.

The vector that is created when vectors are added or subtracted...the resulting vector

Used in vector resolution to find the adjacent component of a vector

Used in vector resolution to find the opposite component of a vector

Used in combining component vectors to find the angle (direction) of the resultant vector

the process of breaking down a single vector into component vectors that are at right angle to each other.

the process of combining similar axial components using simple addition or subtraction. The components must be parallel.
