1. Kinematics – studying how objects move. What do we know from Nat 5? In your group write down as many different things as you can to do with movement. Note we are not looking at forces yet. Your group has 5mins.

2. Scalars and Vectors With forces direction is important so force is a vector quantity. Time has no direction so it is a scalar quantity.

3. Scalar – magnitude (size) only eg distance, d = 34 km Vector – magnitude - direction - reference point eg. Displacement, s = 34 km south of Edinburgh Vectors always added nose to tail.

8. Example 1 (You might want to copy this example in your notes jotter) (a) Draw a scale diagram to find the distance travelled and the final displacement of someone following this route. 4 km at 045 o 2 km due south 6 km at 60 o south of east N resultant Distance = 12 km Displacement = 7.4 km at 128 o Scale 1cm: 1km Now do the extra example sheet in rough jotter.

9. (b) If a boy took 4 hours to complete this course, what was his average speed in km/hour? (c) What was his average velocity in kmh -1 ? (d) What was his velocity in ms -1 ? Distance = 12 km Displacement = 7.4 km at 128 o (b) Average speed = d ÷ t = 12 ÷ 4 = 3 kmh -1 ( c) average velocity = s ÷ t = 7.4 ÷ 4 = 1.85 kmh -1 At 128 o (d) 1.85 km/h = 1850 m/h = 30.83 m/min = 0.51 ms -1 at 128 o

10. 2010 Higher paper Qu 21 A helicopter is flying at a constant height above the ground. (a)The helicopter flies 20km on a bearing of 180 o (due south). It then turns on to a bearing of 140 o and travels a further 30km. The helicopter takes 15 minutes to travel the 50km. (i) By scale diagram or otherwise find the resultant displacement of the helicopter.(3) (ii) Calculate the average velocity of the helicopter during the 15 minutes. (3) 47km ± 1 at 156 o ± 2 or 24 o east of south or 66 o south of east V= 52.3 ms -1 at 156 o ( or 52.2ms -1 or 188 kmh -1 )

11. Example 2 Find the resultant vector (add vectors nose to tail.) 65 N140 N (a) For forces the resultant vector is called the unbalanced force. (b)The wind blows with a force of 3N to the North. The current is 4N to the East. What is the resultant force? 30 o 10 N (c)
