If a particle moves in only one dimension, like a train on as straight track, it’s easy to answer the question about where it is because there’s only one component to it: “13m North” or “-3.6 feet.” It’s a single number with units and a positive or negative sign… that’s it. Pretty simple, right?


Well, the truth is that most objects move in two or three dimensions, and so we need more information to tell us where that object is, so we use vectors. We’re going to focus on objects moving in a two dimensional plane.
