🔢 Vectors – CET Physics Formula Sheet 📌 Posted by: Sarthak Prakash Patil 📅 Updated: July 2025


📘 What is a Vector?

A vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

Examples: Velocity, Force, Acceleration

---


🔹 Basic Vector Formulas


1. Vector Representation:




2. Magnitude of Vector:



3. Unit Vector:



4. Addition of Vectors (Resultant):


 (when angle θ between A and B is known)



5. Subtraction of Vectors:


---


🔹 Types of Products


1. Dot Product (Scalar Product):


Result → Scalar


2. Cross Product (Vector Product):


Result → Vector (direction given by right-hand rule)

---


🔹 Vector Resolution:


If vector A makes an angle θ with x-axis:

---


🧠 Tip for CET:


Remember units and dimensions of vector quantities


Use graphical methods for vector addition


Practice direction-angle based MCQs
