What is a vector?What is a vector?
• A scalar quantity is one that is represented by a single number. (Eg: Mass, length, time, temperature, volume.)
• A vector is a quantity which has both magnitude and direction. (Eg: Displacement, velocity, force.)
Direction: something like “Makes an angle of 36 with the horizontal as measured CCW”
Notation: A or A (or A)
Magnitude (how long): |A| or A

Relative MotionRelative Motion
Sometimes an object has two velocities at the same time. Let’s say a person is walking on a train at 2 m/s in the opposite direction of the train’s motion at 8 m/s.
How fast this person is going relative to someone on the ground?
8 m/s -2 m/s 6 m/s+
vperson to train+vtrain to ground = vperson to ground

Faster than light?Faster than light?
Special relativity (postulated by A. Einstein): Nothing can travel faster that light in vacuum (c ~ 3 × 108 m/s) in any frame of reference.
The fix: Galilean transformations are OK for speeds v << c only. For high speeds, we need to use the so-called Lorentz transformations (which become the Galilean transformation in the limit of small v).
Two spaceships moving at 200,000 km/s relative to Earth head toward each other somewhere in the galaxy . What is their relative speed?
Two cars driving at 50 mph head toward each other on a highway. What is their relative speed? Answer: 100 mph
Answer: 400 000 km/s
This is faster than light (300 000 km/s) !! Is this possible??? No.
