In this unit, students will focus on the concept of vectors, learning to represent physical quantities with both magnitude and direction. They will practice vector operations, including addition, subtraction, and decomposition, to analyze and solve problems involving vector quantities. This foundational knowledge will support their understanding of more complex physics concepts throughout the course.
