How can we add vectors using the parallelogram method? draw vector 1 using appropriate scale and in the direction of its action from the tail of vector 1 draw vector 2 using the same scale in the direction of its action complete the parallelogram by using vector 1 and 2 as sides of the parallelogram the resulting vector is represented in both magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram
Parallelogram If two vectors are represented by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the diagonal of parallelogram through the common point represents the sum of the two vectors in both magnitude and direction.
Components of a Vector Horizontal Component Vertical Component R THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL COMPONENTS MAKE A TRIANGLE AND SO WE CAN USE SINE AND COSINE TO CALCULATE A MISSING COMPONENT θ RxRx RyRy
How can we define and calculate components of resultant vector? R x =R cosθ R y =R sinθ
FxFx With the given information we can use COSINE!!! R x =R cosR y OR F x = F cos θ F x = 100N x cos(30°) F x = 100N x (√3)/2 F x = [C] 86.6 N
Answer: D) an unlimited number because there is no finite amount of forces and you can have them acting at various magnitudes from various directions Answer: A) distance This question is comparing a vector quantity velocity to a scalar quantity speed. Displacement is a vector quantity that relates to distance a scalar quantity in the same way.
