2. Vocab. 1.Vector: an arrow whose length represents the magnitude of a quantity & direction. 2.Vector Quantity: quantity such as force or velocity, has magnitude & direction. 3.Scalar Quantity: quantity such as speed, mass, vol. and time that can be specified by magnitude (no direction). 4.Component: one vector (perpendicular) whose sum is a resultant vector (net force); combination of two or more components. One side opposite to angle theta θ and side adjacent to theta θ. 5.Resultant: vector sum of 2 or more component vectors; net force; also called hypotenuse or diagonal.

3. MAGNITUDE – strength of something “how much?” DIRECTION – “which way?”

4. MAGNITUDE less magnitude more magnitude

5. DIRECTION EQUAL MAGNITUDE; OPPOSITE DIRECTION

6. SPEED VS. VELOCITY Velocity has both magnitude and direction. Speed has only magnitude.

7. You can add the magnitudes of two vectors together to get a resulting magnitude of a vector.

8. RESULTANT the sum of two vectors

9. For Example: 100 N + 200 N 300 N net force or resultant

10. Also: 100 N + 200 N 100 net force or resultant

11. For example: 100 km/hr 10 km/hr Net Velocity: 90 km/hr

12. OR 100 km/hr 10 km/hr Net Velocity: 110 km/hr WIND

13. Not all vectors occur horizontally. Say the wind was blowing at the plane vertically. WIND

14. The plane’s velocity is affected by the wind. Plane’s velocity Crosswind velocity

15. The plane’s resultant vector would look like this:

16. TERMS Headwind-means the wind is moving “head on” so that the object is moving against the direction: opposite Tailwind-means the wind is behind or moving in the same direction as the object

17. By using the parallelogram method, you can represent the resultant of two vectors.

18. Create a parallelogram from the two vectors

20. Geometric Addition of Vectors Parallelograms – shapes that have opposite sides of equal length and are parallel.

21. EXAMPLES of parallelograms

22. Then connect the resultant vector.
