Scalars & Vectors
![Page 2: Scalars & Vectors 1_scalar_vector...Vectors can be represented by words “Take your team 2 ‘clicks’ (km) north” “US Air 45, new course 30o at 500 mph.” Vectors can be represented](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022040502/5e2a425eea01f1605d2b35a5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Vectors are quantities that have both a direction
and a magnitude (size).
Ex. 2 km, 30ο north of east
Examples of Vectors used in Physics
Displacement
Velocity
Acceleration
Force
Scalars are quantities that have only a
magnitude(size) are called.
Scalar Example Magnitude
Speed 20 m/s
Distance 10 m
Age 15 years
Heat 1000 calories

Vectors can be represented by words “Take your team 2 ‘clicks’ (km) north”
“US Air 45, new course 30o at 500 mph.”
Vectors can be represented by symbols In the text, boldface indicates vectors.
Examples:
Vectors can be represented graphically using arrows The direction of the arrow is the direction of the
vector. The length of the arrow tells the magnitude
Vectors can be moved parallel to themselves and still be the same vector
Vectors only tell amount and direction, so a vector doesn’t care where it starts.

The sum of two vectors is called the
resultant.
To add vectors graphically, draw each vector
to scale.
Place the tail of the second vector at the tip
of the first vector.
Vectors can be added in any order.
To subtract a vector, add its opposite.
![Page 5: Scalars & Vectors 1_scalar_vector...Vectors can be represented by words “Take your team 2 ‘clicks’ (km) north” “US Air 45, new course 30o at 500 mph.” Vectors can be represented](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022040502/5e2a425eea01f1605d2b35a5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
VECTOR ADDITION – If 2 similar vectors point in the SAME direction, add them.
Example: A man walks 54.5 meters east, then another 30 meters east. Calculate his displacement relative to where he started?
54.5 m, E 30 m, E +
84.5 m, E
Notice that the SIZE
of the arrow conveys
MAGNITUDE and the
way it was drawn
conveys DIRECTION.

VECTOR SUBTRACTION - If 2 vectors are going in
opposite directions, you SUBTRACT.
Example: A man walks 54.5 meters east, then 30
meters west. Calculate his displacement relative to
where he started?
54.5 m, E
30 m, W
24.5 m, E

When 2 vectors are perpendicular, you must use the Pythagorean Theorem.

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.

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

Resolve each vector into x and y
components, using sin and cos.
Add the x components together to get the
total x component. Add the y component
together to get the total y component.
Find the magnitude of the resultant using
Pythagorean theorem.
Find the direction of the resultant using the
inverse tan function.

Any vector can be resolved, that is, broken
up, into two vectors, one that lies on the x-
axis and one on the y-axis.

the trig functions since and cosine.

We use the term VECTOR RESOLUTION to suggest
that any vector which IS NOT on an axis MUST be
broken down into horizontal and vertical
components.
BUT --- the ultimate and
recurring themes in
physics is take any and all
vectors and turn
them all into ONE BIG
RIGHT TRIANGLE.

1. Make a drawing showing all the vectors, angles, and given directions.
2. Make a chart with all the horizontal components in one column and all the vertical components on the other.
3. Make sure you assign a negative sign to any vector which is moving WEST or SOUTH.
4. Add all the horizontal components to get ONE value for the horizontal. Do the same for the vertical.
5. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resultant and Tangent to find the direction.
