Unit 1 Segment D: Vectors and Scalars A marching band helps us explore the difference between vector and scalar quantities. We also dive into how to use the tip-to-tail method to resolve one and ...

You’ve got to love physics humour. To mark Valentine’s day last week, Fermilab’s in-house magazine ran a spoof personal ad that stated: “mature paradigm with firm observational support seeks a ...

Vector quantities have both magnitude and an associated direction. This makes them different from scalar quantities, which just have magnitude.

THIS “Introduction to Vector-methods and their Various Applications to Physics and Mathematics” is an exposition of the late Willard Gibbs' vector analysis. The author in his preface warns us that “no ...

Important instruments for neuroscience and medical diagnostics, optically pumped magnetometers measure responses of polarized atoms to produce information about the low-frequency external field. They ...
