4.27 A vector has both magnitude and direction. Does it mean that anything that has magnitude and direction is necessarily a vector? The rotation of a body can be specified by the direction of the axis of rotation, and the angle of rotation about the axis. Does that make any rotation a vector?

    4.27 No in the both the cases.

    A physical quantity which is having both direction and magnitude is not necessarily a vector. For instance, in spite of having direction and magnitude, current is a scalar quantity. The basic necessity for a physical quantity to fall in a vector category is that it ought to follow the “law of vector addition”.

    As the rotation of a body about an axis does not follow the basic necessity to be a vector i.e. it does not follow the “law of vector addition”.

  a = v 0 2 R

after 10 kicks, v = v 0 + 1 0 v 0 1 0 0 = 1 . 1 v 0

R 1 = 1 . 2 1 R

v? = 3tî v? = 24cos 60°î + 24sin 60°? = 12î + 12√3?
v? = v? – v? = (12 – 3t)î + 12√3?
It is minimum when 12 - 3t = 0 ⇒ t = 4sec

ω = θ² + 2θ
α = (ωdω)/dθ = (θ² + 2θ) (2θ + 2)
At θ = 1rad.
ω = 3rad/s and α = 12rad/s²
a? = αR = 12 m/s² a? = ω²R = 9 m/s² A? = √ (a? ² + a? ²) = 15 m/s²

a? = v? ²/4r
a_A? = (v? ²/r²) × r = v? ²/r
a_A = 3v? ²/4r
