I have a quiz tomorrow on Vectors and Friction.

I need to know all about Vectors. Like maybe the formulas and how to use them in certain problems, because I don't know JACK about Vectors.

so basically, pour out as much knowledge you guys have on Vectors.

thanks in advance.

This is WAY too general!
It is simply silly to ask for such information.
You should first try to analyze for yourself:
What do we try to model with the mathematical quantity called a vector?
Ask SPECIFIC questions about vectors; this will show to us that you've actually put some thoughts on your own on the issue.
Secondly: whatever do you mean by "friction" in this context?

You mean you're not going to churn out a textbook on vectors for him?

:rolleyes: :smile:
 
Not today..
 
Maybe you can get what you want on your textbook.
