  3. Chapter 4: Vectors • Vector Review • Trigonometry for Physics • Vector Addition—Algebraic • Vector Resolution

  4. Chapter 4: Vectors Vector: • A measurement with both magnitude and direction Magnitude: • A numerical value Direction: • +/– • North, South, East, West • Which is larger 2m/s or – 3 m/s?

  5. Chapter 4: Vectors Vector: What does it mean when an object has…..? • Velocity—negative and positive • Acceleration—negative and positive

  6. Chapter 4: Vectors • Vectors can be added together both graphically and algebraically • Graphic addition: using arrows of proper length and direction to add vectors together • Algebraic addition: using trigonometry to add vectors together

  7. Chapter 4: Vectors Graphic addition: “Butt-Head” Method • Draw first vector to scale (magnitude & direction) • Draw second vector to scale. Connect the “butt” of the second vector to the “head” of the first vector • Repeat Step #2 until you run out of vectors. • Draw Resultant (?). Connect the “butt” of the first vector with the “head” of the last vector—butt-butt, head-head

Find the magnitude and direction of the boat’s diagonal motion. • Answer • 2.55 m/s 11.3 measured from center of river (or 78.7 measured from shore)

  41. Vector Resolution Vector Resolution—the process of breaking a single vector into its components Components—the two perpendicular vectors that when added together give a single vector • Components are along the x-axis and y-axis

  42. Vector Resolution Example • A bus travels 23 km on a straight road that is 30 north of east. What are the east and north components of its displacement?
