    Lesson Objectives

    At the end of the lesson, the students will be


    able to:
    • differentiate vector and scalar quantities,
    • perform addition of vectors; and
    • rewrite a vector in component form.

    Scalar vs. Vector

    SCALAR VECTOR
    - a quantity characterized by - a quantity characterized by
    magnitude only. both magnitude and direction.

    Examples: Examples:
    time, mass, temperature, velocity, acceleration,
    speed, energy force, momentum

    magnitude – numerical value


    consisting a number and a unit.

    Vector

    tail head

    head – indicates the direction of the vector.


    tail – represents the origin.
    length of the arrow – represents the magnitude of
    the vector.

    Vector Addition
    • When two (2) vectors point in the same direction,
    simply add them together.

    • When two (2) vectors point in the opposite


    direction, simply subtract them.

    • When vectors are added, the result is called as vector


    s sum or resultant vector.

    Vector Addition Using the Graphical Method

    • Use ruler in plotting the given


    vectors in the Cartesian plane.
    • Use protractor for the angle or
    direction of the given vectors.
    Parallelogram Method

    Example: Force is a vector quantity that use Newton (N) as the


    unit. Suppose a force of F = 8 N is applied horizontally to a block
    going right. Also, a second force F = 5 N is applied at an angle of
    35⁰ above the horizontal. Determine the resultant force that acts
    on the block.
    Polygon Method

    Example: Julius walk from his house with the following


    displacements. First, he walk 7 m to the east, 3 m to the north
    and 5 m, 15⁰ west of north. Find Julius’ resultant displacement.
    Assignment

    • Find the resultant of the following vectors and its direction:


    1) d1 = 8.5 mi, S 3) F1 = 20 N, 60⁰ E of N
    d2 = 6 mi, 10⁰ S of W F2 = 10 N, E
    Scale: 1 mi=1 cm F3 = 12 N, 165⁰
    2) v1 = 10.2 m/s, SE F4 = 6 N, SW
    v2 = 2 m/s, 270⁰ Scale: 2N=1cm
    v3 = 6 m/s, -120⁰
