Motion with i\mathbf{i}i and j\mathbf{j}j components

Motion with i\mathbf{i}i and j\mathbf{j}j components

Further kinematics describes motion in a plane using unit vectors i\mathbf{i}i and j\mathbf{j}j. In many questions i\mathbf{i}i is east and j\mathbf{j}j is north, so 3i−4j3\mathbf{i}-4\mathbf{j}3i−4j means 3 units east and 4 units south.

Further Kinematics Lesson

  3. /Further Kinematics

Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Maths Further Kinematics, covering 8.1 Vectors in Kinematics, 8.2 Vector Methods with Projectiles, 8.3 Variable Acceleration in One Dimension, 8.4 Differentiating Vectors, and 8.5 Integrating Vectors. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build fluency with the core pure algebra and calculus toolkit early, since almost every mechanics and statistics topic on the course depends on it.
