B1.2 Velocity

Scalar: Vector: Scalars and Vectors A scalar quantity has magnitude (size) only, but no direction. Examples include: time, mass, distance and speed. Vector: A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. Examples include: displacement, velocity and force.

Since we stated the direction, position is a VECTOR quantity. The position of an object is the separation between that object and a reference point. (which is usually “zero” on the scale) The position of car B is 1.0 m to the left of the reference. The position of car A is 8.0 m to the right of the reference. Since we stated the direction, position is a VECTOR quantity.

Since we did not state the direction, distance is a SCALAR quantity. Distance, on the other hand, needs no frame of reference. You measure the distance between two objects by measuring their separation. Car A is 9.0 m from car B no matter where you put the reference point. Since we did not state the direction, distance is a SCALAR quantity.

Since we stated the direction, displacement is a VECTOR quantity. The displacement of an object is defined as its change in position, relative to where it started. direction! The car has moved a distance of 5.0 m. The displacement of the car is 5.0 m to the right. Since we stated the direction, displacement is a VECTOR quantity.

Vector Sign Conventions When using vector quantities in formulas, we do not write the directions using words. Instead, we use positive (+) and negative (-) signs. positive directions negative directions forward backward up down right left west east south north

X-Axis Method How to use the X-axis Method: Read the grid from 0o counterclockwise and include direction. Up and right are positive Down and left are negative Directions between axis lines are given only in degrees. Up (90o) Left (180o) Right (0o) 40o 5 m Down (270o) For Example: Vector A is positioned at 5m (220o) See page 139, example problem B1.4 for more examples.

Navigator Method How to use the Navigator Method: Read the grid from 0o clockwise and include direction. North and east are positive South and west are negative Directions between axis lines are given only in degrees. N (0o) W (270o) E (90o) 40o 5 m S (180o) For Example: Vector A is positioned at 5m (230o) See page 140, example problem B1.5 for more examples.

Navigator II Method (‘of’ Method)

Average Velocity t = 1.2 s 5.0 m The car has a displacement of 5.0 m to the right in 1.2 s. The average velocity of the car is defined as a change in position during a time interval. It is called an average velocity because it does not take into account speeding up and slowing down. = average velocity (m/s) = displacement (m) Δt = time (s) We use the arrows “→” to indicate vector quantities.

t = 1.2 s 5.0 m Kramer sez: Remember to state the direction with vector quantities! = 4.2 m/s to the right Since we stated the direction, average velocity is a VECTOR quantity.

examples: Practice Problems p. 141 8) A student walks 10.0 m [E] in 7.00 s. Then he walks another 12.0 m [E] in 8.00 s. Determine: a) the displacement of the student in 15.00 s 22.0 m [E] b) the average velocity of the student. 1.47 m/s [E] 9) A boat travels at a velocity of 8.00 m/s [N] for 14.0 s. What is the displacement of the boat? 112 m [N] 10) An airplane flying at a velocity of 900 km/h [W] travels 400 km west. How long will the plane be in flight? 0.444 h

Jonny walks 10m [N] and then turns and heads east for 15m Jonny walks 10m [N] and then turns and heads east for 15m. What is Jonny’s total displacement Adding Vectors

The only difference between distance-time graphs and position-time graphs is that direction is included. This means that the slope is equal to the velocity.
