Any vector can be written as a linear
combination of two standard unit vectors.

The vector v is a linear combination
of the vectors i and j.
The scalar a is the horizontal
component of v and the scalar b is
the vertical component of v.
We can describe the position of a moving particle by a vector, r(t).
tr
If we separate r(t) into horizontal and vertical components,
we can express r(t) as a linear combination of standard unit vectors i and j.

Most of the rules for the calculus of vectors are the same as we have used, except:
Speed v t
velocity vectorDirection
speed
t
tv
v
“Absolute value” means “distance from the origin” so we must use the Pythagorean theorem.
Note: The magnitude of the velocity is by definition identical to the speed which is a scalar (not a vector) and never negative; however, velocity is a vector because it has direction and magnitude
