DAY 1 Vectors

Here is the diagram with the scale of 2cm = 1km: [DIAGRAM OF VECTORS D1 AND D2 WITH SCALE] The resultant magnitude is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: R = √(32 + 32) = √9 + 9 = √18 = 4.24 km The direction is 45 degrees East of North since both vectors form a right angle. The answer is c. 4.24 km, 45 degrees East of North.

STEM_GP12V-Ia-9
Specific objectives:
At the end of the period you should be able
to :
1. perform addition of vectors in two
dimensions(forming right angles )
2.Draw the vector diagram of the given
vector quantities using a vector arrow.
3. Calculate the magnitude and direction of
the resultant vector (using component
method-Pythagorean theorem)
Review:
Direction: Identify whether the following statement/quantity
is a SCALAR or VECTOR.
______1. a physical quantity that has magnitude (size) only.
______2. a physical quantity that has both a magnitude and a
direction.
______3. mass
______4. electric charge
______5. force (You push or pull something with some
strength (magnitude) in a particular direction.)
______6. weight (Your weight is proportional to your mass
(magnitude) and is always in the direction towards the
center of the earth.)
______7. 8.0 meters
______8. 10 meters East

Review:

How do you represent vectors in the same direction?


Example: Displacement 1 = 5m East
Displacement 2 = 8 m East

How do you add vectors in the opposite direction?


Example: Displacement 1 = 5m East
Displacement 2 = 8 m West
Answer:

How do you represent vectors in the same direction?


Example: Displacement 1 = 5.0 m East
Displacement 2 = 8.0 m East

5.0 m 8.0 m Ans.13 East

How do you add vectors in the opposite direction?


Example: Displacement 1 = 5.0m East
Displacement 2 = 8 .0m West
5.0 m
Ans. - 3 West
8.0 m

The Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is right-
angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is
equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
