By Wu Weimin
This booklet is a exertions of affection for Dr Wu Weimin whose favourite images topics are traditional occasions which seize the guts of the typical fogeys. The cameras Dr Wu makes use of is probably not the main refined however the photos he has taken are actually notable. His award-winning collections of pictures are rather well got around the world. The advent written through Dr Rick Vidal of Fermilab used to be recommended via Dr Leon Lederman, Nobel Laureate in Physics (1988). Being a physicist by way of education, Dr Wu used to be one of the pioneer scientists who helped to enhance China's first atomic bomb and to release its first satellite tv for pc. He additionally participated in construction the 1st chinese language electron-positron collider. one other striking feat is that he despatched out the first actual email from China on 25 August 1986.

In other words, the sign of these quantities was indicative enough of the direction along which the quantity is pointing. Motion in two dimensions, however, is more involved and will require the use of vectors. In two-dimensional motion, the quantities displacement, velocity, and acceleration can be resolved into two components. If the plane of motion is taken as the x–y plane, one of the two components can be chosen to be along the x-axis and the other component can be chosen to be along the y-axis.
13 Locate on a plane polar coordinate system a point P whose coordinates are (5, π/3). Answer and Analysis Starting from a point, O, first draw a reference line, and from O, then draw another line OP that makes an angle θ = π/3 with the reference line. Along this new line, locate a point P that is away from O with a distance of 5 units (the figure below). The point P then is the point of coordinates (5, π/3). 7 VECTORS Two classes of physical quantities that are of interest are vectors and scalars.
