1 Introduction to Ph ysics and Mathematics
Ph ysics is about understanding nature’ s rules, lik e how objects move or how
forces work. Mathematics is the language that mak es these rules clear and pre-
cise. T o describe ph ysical phenomena, we use tools lik e algebr a, trigonome-
try , geometry , vector algebr a, differential calculus, and integr al calculus. This
chapter focuses on vectors, calculus, significant digits, and measurement errors,
which are essential for solving ph ysics problems. A strong gr asp of these mathe-
matical tools helps us describe, predict, and apply ph ysical principles effectively .
K ey Idea : Mathematics provides a clear and precise wa y to express ph ysics con-
cepts, making them easier to understand and apply .
2 V ectors and Scalars
Ph ysical quantities are either scalars or vectors . Scalars, lik e mass or temper a-
ture, are described b y a number and a unit (e.g., 6 k g). They add using regular
arithmetic (e.g., 6 k g + 3 k g = 9 k g). V ectors, lik e velocity or force, need both a mag-
nitude and a direction (e.g., 5 m/s north). V ectors are represented with an arrow
(e.g.,? v ) or bold letters (e.g., v ) and are dr awn as lines with an arrow indicating
direction, where the length represents magnitude.
V ectors add using the triangle rule : dr aw the first vector , place the tail of the
second vector at the head of the first, and the resultant is the vector from the
tail of the first to the head of the second. F or example, if a particle moves 3 m/s
east and 4 m/s north, the resultant velocity is found b y dr awing a r ight triangle,

5 M ultiplication of a V ector b y a Number
Multiplying a vector? a with magnitudea b y a numberk gives
?
b = k? a , with magni-
tude|k|·a . Ifk > 0 , the direction is unchanged; ifk < 0 , it reverses. F or example,
if? a = 4 m/ s east, then-2? a = 8 m/ s west. A vector can be written as? a = a? u , where
? u is a unit vector (magnitude 1) in? a ’ s direction.
K ey Idea : Scalar multiplication scales a vector ’ s magnitude and ma y reverse its
direction.
5.1 Solved Example: Scalar Multiplication
Question : A velocity? v = 15 m/ s south is multiplied b y 2.5. Find the new vector ’ s
magnitude a nd direction.
Solution :
Magnitude = 2.5×15 = 37.5 m/ s
Since 2.5 is positive, the direction remains south. The new vector is 37.5 m/ s
south.
