Vectors are used in science to describe anything that has both a direction and
a magnitude. They are usually drawn as pointed arrows, the length of which
represents the vector's magnitude. A quarterback's pass is a good example,
because it has a direction (usually somewhere downfield) and a magnitude
(how hard the ball is thrown).
Off the field, vectors can be used to represent any number of physical objects
or phenomena. Wind, for instance, is a vectorial quantity, because at any given
location it has a direction (such as northeast) and a magnitude (say, 45
kilometers per hour). You could make a map of airflow at any point in time,
then, by drawing wind vectors for a number of different geographic locations.
Many properties of moving objects are also vectors. Take, for instance, a
billiard ball rolling across a table. The ball's velocity vector describes its
movementthe direction of the vector arrow marks the ball's direction of
motion, and the length of the vector represents the speed of the ball.
The billiard ball's momentum is also a vectorial quantity, because momentum
is equal to mass times velocity. Therefore, the ball's momentum vector points
in the same direction as its velocity vector, and the momentum vector's
magnitude, or length, is the multiplication product of the ball's speed and its
mass.
Momentum vectors are useful when you want to predict what will happen
when two objects come into contact. Recall from the video that vectors can be
added together by joining them to make a shape called a parallelogram and
finding the diagonal of that parallelogram. The diagonal is the sum of the two
vectors that form the sides of the parallelogram.

Let's say that a rolling billiard ball is moving toward a glancing collision with a
stationary billiard ball. On impact, the moving ball transfers some of its
momentum to the stationary ball, and both roll away from the collision in
different directions. Following the impact, both balls have velocity and hence
momentum. In fact, the sum of the momentum vectors of the two balls after
the collision is equal to the first ball's momentum vector before the collision,
ignoring small losses due to friction as well as sound and heat energy
produced during the impact.
So, with an understanding of vectors, billiards players can predict where both
balls will go following a collision, allowing them to sink more target balls while
keeping the cue ball safely on the table.
