The main idea of this chapter is quite simple : Horizontal and vertical motion are ____________________ .

A ball thrown horizontally continues to move with the same speed in the ____________________ direction , even as it falls with an increasing speed in the ____________________ direction .

The ____________________ of a vector are the key to understanding the independence of horizontal and vertical motions .

Of all the mathematical tools used in this book , none is more important
than the ____________________ . In fact , vectors are indispensable in describing many of
the key quantities in physics , like ____________________ , ____________________ , and ____________________ .

Sometimes a scalar isn't enough to adequately describe a physical quantity .
There are many cases where a ____________________ is needed as well .

A vector is a quantity that is specified by both a ____________________ and a ____________________ .
The length of a vector is referred to as its ____________________ .

When we indicate a vector on a diagram
or a sketch , we draw an ____________________ .

It is common in handwritten
material to draw a ____________________ ____________________ over the vector's symbol , which is very
similar to the way vectors are represented in this text .
