VECTORSVECTORS
Scalars are quantities which are fully described by a magnitude alone.
Vectors are quantities which are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
Do you remember the difference between a scalar and a vector?
1. The length of the line represents the magnitude and the arrow indicates the direction.2. The magnitude and direction of the vector is
clearly labeled.
The magnitude of a vector in a scaled vector diagram is depicted by the length of the arrow. The arrow is drawn precisely to length in accordance with a chosen scale.
Scaling!!!Scaling!!!
Direction!!!Direction!!!
Sometimes vectors will be directed due East or due North. However we will encounter vectors in all sorts of directions and be forced to find the angle!

• Δx = 30 m @ 20º E of N• V = 20 m/s @ 30º W of N• a = 10 m/s2@ 40º W of S• F = 50 N @ 10º S of E

To Draw direction:
Ex. 20º E of N: Start w/ North and go 20° East
All these planes have the same reading on their speedometer. (plane speed not speed with respect to the ground (actual speed)
What factor is affecting their velocity?

Easy Adding…
The resultant is the vector sum of two or more vectors.
1. Select an appropriate scale (e.g., 1 cm = 5 km)
2. Draw and label 1st vector to scale.
*The tail of each consecutive vector begins at the head of the most recent vector*
3. Draw and label 2nd vector to scale starting at the head of the 1st vector.
4. Draw the resultant vector (the summative result of the addition of the given vectors) by connecting the tail of the 1st vector to the head of the 2nd vector. (initial to final pt.)
5. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector by using a protractor, ruler, and the indicated scale; then label the resultant vector.

C. 90º crosswindUsing a ruler and your scale, you can determine the magnitude of the resultant vector. Or you could use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Then using a protractor, you can measure the direction of the resultant vector. Or you could use trigonometry to solve for the angle.

1. Draw vector diagram. (Draw axis)
2. Resolve vectors into components using trig:Vadj = V cos θ Vopp = V sin θ
3. Sum x and y components:ΣVxi ΣVyi
4. Redraw!! Determine resultant vector using Pythagorean’s Theorem and trig:
Magnitude= √(Σ Vxi)² + (Σ Vyi)²Direction Action: θ = tan-1(opp/adj)

a. What is the resultant velocity of the motor boat?
b. If the width of the river is 80 meters wide, then how much time does it take the boat to travel shore to shore?
c. What distance downstream does the boat reach the opposite shore?
Another look, from a different perspective
Non-Collinear VectorsWhen 2 vectors are perpendicular, you must use the
Pythagorean theorem.

BUT……what about the direction?
In the previous example, DISPLACEMENT was asked for and since it is a VECTOR we should include a DIRECTION on our final answer.
NOTE: When drawing a right triangle that conveys some type of motion, you MUST draw your components HEAD TO TOE.

BUT…..what about the VALUE of the angle???
Just putting North of East on the answer is NOT specific enough for the direction. We MUST find the VALUE of the angle.

To find the value of the angle we use a Trig function called TANGENT.
