National 5 Vectors and scalars Adding vectors Scalars have a size, while vectors have both size and direction. When adding vector quantities, it is possible to find the size and direction of the ...

Yes. In introductory physics courses, it is common to just look at vectors with only 2 dimensions (x and y) just to make things simpler. Also, you can have 4 or 5 or even more dimensions in vectors.

The Test of Understanding of Vectors (TUV) is one of the most used tests to investigate students’ comprehension of vectors. However, to our knowledge, the test has not been tested for students in ...
