1
Warm Up 49.1.11 Isolate “q 2 ” from
2
Scalars Scalars are measurements Normal numbers Magnitude is a synonym Examples: 55 miles per hour 100 kg
3
Vectors They are scalars with a direction. Magnitude is the scalar part of the vector Examples 55 Miles per Hour, north 15 m/s, right
4
Vectors and Scalars Certain physics terms are vectors. Distance (scalar) vs. Displacement (vector) Speed (scalar) vs. Velocity (vector) Acceleration (vector) Force (vector)
5
Vocabulary T Chart Distance (scalar) – how far you moved Displacement (vector) – how far you moved in a specific direction
6
Demonstration Displacement versus Distance Stand up Walk once around the room Sit back down at your desk
7
Distance What are different ways we could have measured our distance?
8
Displacement Your displacement was 0. You had a displacement until you sat back down. Since you ended where you started, your final displacement is 0.
9
Vocabulary T Chart Speed (scalar) – how fast are you going Velocity (vector) – how fast you are going in a specific direction
10
Vocabulary T Chart Acceleration (vector) – the rate of change of velocity How quickly your changing your speed (increasing or decreasing).
11
The Parts of a Vector Picture form Tail Head Magnitude
12
Coordinate system
13
Vector Components Vectors can be “broken” into an x- component and y-component Makes a right triangle Original vector is the hypotenuse Go in the same direction as the original vector
14
Vector Addition Similar to vector components in reverse There are 2 methods Head to Tail Tail to Tail (aka parallelogram method)
15
Vector Addition Resultant – the final vector after adding all of the other vectors
16
Parallelogram Method (Tail to Tail) Only good to add 2 vectors
17
Head to Tail Like driving directions
18
Warm Up 59.2.11 An airplane is flying due East at 100. km/s. There is a steady crosswind blowing from the South at 30.0 km/s. What is the plane’s new velocity? A) 95.4 km/s, Southeast B) 95.4 km/s, Northeast C) 104 km/s, Southeast D) 104 km/s, Northeast
19
Use vector addition to solve Johnny is running south with a momentum of 150 kgm/s towards the end zone. Corey hits Johnny from the west with a momentum of 195 kgm/s. What would be their approximate new momentum and direction?
20
Warm Up 69.6.11 Draw a triple Venn Diagram comparing Vector, Scalar, and a car.
21
Current Events All on turnitin.com have been graded You can fix the problems and resubmit for full credit. This time only. Due: Thursday, midnight.
22
Warm Up 79.7.11 Add these 2 vectors and find the resultant.
24
Use vector addition to solve Spot is lying down in the shade. Spot gets up and wanders 3 m east, 5 m south, 5 m west, 5 m north, and 2 m east. What is Spot’s final displacement?
