Introduction to Vector - Physics Notes for Class 11 Science

Introduction to Vector - Physics Notes for Class 11 Science 

LAWS RELATED TO VECTORS
Addition of vectors
The operation of addition of two vectors can be done by using the law called parallelogram law of vector addition. The addition can be done by taking two vectors as the adjacent sides of a parallelogram by joining their tales and sum can be taken by adding their corresponding components. If A=(x1+x2+x3) and B=(y1+y2+y3).
Then A+B = (x1+y1,x2+y2,x3+y3).

Multiplication of vectors
For multiplication of two vectors, there are several techniques. Includes
  • Cross product: It is the operation which results in a vector that’s why it is also called as the vector product of two vectors. It is taken by the product of their magnitude and sine of the angle between them. Carried out by the formula

A × B = ||A|| ||B|| sin θ n.

Where ‘n’ is unit vector determined by the plane of two vectors.

  • Dot product: it is the operation results in scalar of two vectors that’s why it is also called as the scalar product of two vectors. It is taken by product of their magnitude and cosine of the angle between them.

A ⋅ B = ||A|| ||B|| cos θ.

  • Triple cross product and multiple products: when three vectors are multiplied then the product are called triple product and if more than three then product is multiple products.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
