1 Week

2  Student will: scalars vectors  Distinguish between scalars and vectors  Add subtract vectors  Add and subtract vectors

3 Questions 1)How would you define scalar? 2)How is scalar different from a vector?

4 Example: Adding Vectors Tail-To-Tip Method

5 Example: Resultant Displacement Spider-man walks 9.0 m horizontally until he hits a wall. He then decides to climb up a building for 3.0 m. What is his resultant displacement?

6 Steps 1)Define Spider-man walks 9.0 m horizontally until he hits a wall. He then decides to climb up a building for 3.0 m. What is his resultant displacement?

7 Choose an equation: Rearrange the equation to isolate the unknown: 2)Plan Trig Review

8 Substitute the values into the equation and solve 3)Calculate

9 4)Evaluate Resultant displacement needs both value and direction. In this case, Spider-man’s resultant displacement is 9.5 meters and 18 ° above the horizontal. Warm-Up Video Answer

10 Example 80 °

11 Example 145 °

12 Example 290 °

13 Example: Directional Components Cyclops is lost in the woods but luckily knows where the X-Men mansion is. The mansion is located 53.0 m at an angle of 131.3 ° of his current position. What are the x and y-component of his position?

14 Steps 1)Define Cyclops is lost in the woods but luckily knows where the X-Men mansion is. The mansion is located 53.0 m at an angle of 131.3 ° of his current position. What are the x and y-component of his position?

15 Choose an equation or situation: Rearrange the equation to isolate the unknown: 2)Plan

16 Substitute the values into the equation and solve 3)Calculate

17 4)Evaluate The x-component is -35 km The y-component is 39.8 km
