Ch-04 Vectors: Lect-05

This document is a lesson on vectors from PhysicsWallah that includes examples of resolving vectors into their x and y components, definitions of unit vectors, and practice questions involving vector addition and determining vector magnitudes and directions. The lesson covers representing vectors in Cartesian form using their x and y components, defining a unit vector as a dimensionless vector with a magnitude of 1, and using orthogonal unit vectors i, j, k to specify vector directions. It provides multiple practice problems asking students to resolve vectors, find vector magnitudes and directions, and add vectors.
