Remember
Remember
Vector from P to Q: ⟨x2 – x1, y2 – y1⟩; magnitude sqrt(a^2 + b^2).
Components of magnitude r at angle theta: .
Unit vector in the direction of v: v divided by |v|.
Dot product: ⟨a, b⟩ . ⟨c, d⟩ = ac + bd; zero means perpendicular.
Resultant force or velocity is the vector sum of the parts.
