Vector Addition• 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.

Page 6: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Vector Subtraction• 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.

Vectors Are Typically Drawn to Scale

Page 9: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

So How Do We Add These?

Page 10: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Pythagorean Theorem

Resultant and Components

Resultant - The “result” from adding or subtracting vectors.

Components- The legs of the triangle or the parts that make up the resultant.

Page 13: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Adding Vectors that are at different angles

Head to Tail Method – easiest method to use to add vectors; always add vectors “head to tail”

Parallelogram Method- another way to add vectors

Graphical Method- another way to add vectors; involves drawing to scale and measuring

Page 14: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Example• Eric leaves the base camp and hikes 11 km,

north and then hikes 11 km east. Determine Eric's resulting displacement.

The order does not matter!Same three vectors added in a different order.

Same resultant

To calculate velocity• (100 km/hr)2 + (25 km/hr)2 = R2

• 10000 km2/hr2 + 625 km2/hr2 = R2

• 10625 km2/hr2 = R2

• SQRT(10 625 km2/hr2) = R• 103.1 km/hr = R

Page 24: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Vectors include direction!Therefore anytime we are dealing with a

direction we must give direction. If it is not due north, south, east, or west, an angle must also be given.

• tan q= (opposite/adjacent)• tan q= (25/100)• q = inverse tan (25/100)• q = 14.0 degrees

Page 25: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Direction should be given from one of the cardinal directions on the earth.

Page 26: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Animation

Page 27: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Example• A boat moves with a velocity of 15 m/s, N in

a river which flows with a velocity of 8.0 m/s, west. Calculate the boat's resultant velocity with respect to due north.

Page 28: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Sometimes we need to find the components of a vector

Vector resolution is the process of breaking down one vector into its parts called components.

Components are two vectors added together which give the resultant.

When asked or necessary, you will need to find the values of both components.

These are generally given from a cardinal direction on the earth (N,S, E, W) or horizontal or vertical.

Page 29: Vector and Vector Resolution. Scalar Vector Vectors.

Example• A plane moves with a velocity of 63.5 m/s

at 32 degrees South of East. Calculate the plane's horizontal and vertical velocity components.
