Chapter C2 Vectors Friday, August 24, 27

Scalars Most physical quantities can be completely described by a single number. Some examples are: Most physical quantities can be completely described by a single number. Some examples are: Mass Mass Volume Volume Time Time Charge Charge Height Height Score on test Score on test Physical quantities that can be described by a single number are called scalars. Physical quantities that can be described by a single number are called scalars.

Vectors Certain physical quantities need a direction as well as a size (magnitude) to completely describe them. Some examples are: Certain physical quantities need a direction as well as a size (magnitude) to completely describe them. Some examples are: Velocity Velocity Force Force Displacement Displacement Momentum Momentum Acceleration Acceleration These are called vectors. These are called vectors.

Vectors

adding Vectors You may move a vector anyplace as long as the magnitude and the direction remain unchanged You may move a vector anyplace as long as the magnitude and the direction remain unchanged When adding vectors, 1) move the second vector, putting the tail of the second vector on the head of the first vector. When adding vectors, 1) move the second vector, putting the tail of the second vector on the head of the first vector. 2) Begin the tail of the resultant vector on the tail of the first vector and put the head of the resultant on the head of the last vector. 2) Begin the tail of the resultant vector on the tail of the first vector and put the head of the resultant on the head of the last vector. 3) Be certain to draw the head on the resultant vector! 3) Be certain to draw the head on the resultant vector! To subtract vectors, change the direction of the vector with the minus sign and add. To subtract vectors, change the direction of the vector with the minus sign and add.

Uncertainty revisited What you are expected to know. Be able to estimate the uncertainty in a particular measurement. Be able to estimate the uncertainty in a particular measurement. Be able to estimate the uncertainty of the result when quantities containing uncertainties are used in calculations. Be able to estimate the uncertainty of the result when quantities containing uncertainties are used in calculations.

Example What is the uncertainty in the area of circle whose radius is 20 paces as determined by my “pacing it off” if I know my normal pace is.8 m? What is the uncertainty in the area of circle whose radius is 20 paces as determined by my “pacing it off” if I know my normal pace is.8 m? Step 1 – What is the uncertainty in my pace? Step 1 – What is the uncertainty in my pace? There is no single correct answer to this, give an answer you can defend) There is no single correct answer to this, give an answer you can defend) I will guess the uncertainty in my pace is 5 cm/pace. I will guess the uncertainty in my pace is 5 cm/pace.

The 5 cm represents 5/80 = 6% The 5 cm represents 5/80 = 6% The radius of the circle is.8 x 20 = 16 m The radius of the circle is.8 x 20 = 16 m The area of the circle is πr 2 = π16 2 =804 m 2 The area of the circle is πr 2 = π16 2 =804 m 2 Uncertainty is ( ) ½ = 8% Uncertainty is ( ) ½ = 8% 8% of 804 is 64 m 2 8% of 804 is 64 m 2 Final answer 804±64 m 2 Final answer 804±64 m 2 It would probably be better to write it as 800±60 m 2 It would probably be better to write it as 800±60 m 2

Vector Components θ This is the length or the magnitude of the vector. The choice of a coordinate system is arbitrary. In physical problems there is often a particular choice that makes the problem easier.

Vector Components θ u y =u sinθ u x =u cosθ tanθ=u y /u x

Unit vectors are unit vectors Note that u x,u y and u z are not vectors

In class exercises

On your paper, draw the following vectors.
