Motion in 2 dimensions
3.1 -3.4
![Page 2: Motion in 2 dimensions 3.1 -3.4. Vectors vs. Scalars Scalar- a quantity described by magnitude only. –Given by numbers and units only. –Ex. Distance,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bff21a28abf838cbbef6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Vectors vs. Scalars
• Scalar- a quantity described by magnitude only. – Given by numbers and units only.– Ex. Distance, speed and mass
• Vector – a quantity described by both magnitude and direction– Numbers, units and direction (either words or
angles– Ex. Displacement, velocity, acceleration and
force

vectors
• Drawn with an arrow
• Length indicates magnitude
• Direction pointed
• Written in text either– As a boldfaced letter– Or as a letter with an arrow on top.

Vector subtractionScalar multiplication
• Vectors may be subtracted by adding the opposite (or negative) of the second vector.
V2 – V1 = V2 + (– V1)
– This means that V1 is facing the opposite direction it was originally heading
• Multiplying a vector by a scalar simply magnifies its length if V= 3 m then 3V = 9 m

Vector addition
• Vectors may be added two ways:– One by graphing
• Vectors are drawn so that they remain in the same orientation but are placed tip to tail.
• Or by the parallelogram method
– One by adding the components of each and doing the Pythagorean theorem.
• The resultant vector is the outcome of adding 2 vectors together.

Parallelogram method:
• In the parallelogram method for vector addition, the vectors are translated, (i.e., moved) to a common origin and the parallelogram constructed as follows:
• The resultant R is the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from the common origin.

• R = resultant vectorPythagorean theorem
5 2 + 10 2 = R 2
R = 11.2 Km
Θ = tan -1 (5/10) =26.6° west of north
So sum = 11.2 Km @ 26.6° west of north

Component method – make a right triangle out of the individual vector

components
• The tip of the x-component vector is directly below the tip
of the original vector.

When adding 2 vectors by the component method
• Find the x and y components of each vector• Organize in a table • Then add x component to x component and y
component to y component,
Vector X component Y component

• Use negative x components when vector is pointed to the left
• Use Negative y components pointed down
• Use the Pythagorean formula to find the length of the resulting vector.
• Find the angle using the Tan-1 (Yr /Xr)

Example 1
• What is the vertical component of a 33 m vector that is at a 76° angle with the x axis?
• y –comp
• y = sin 76
33
y = 33 sin 76 = 32 m 76°
33 m

Example 2
• A plane is heading to a destination 1750 due north at 175 km/hr in a westward wind blowing 25 km/hr.
At what angle should the plane be oriented so that it reaches its destination?
• The wind will push the plane off course to the west by an angle of tan-1
(25/175) = 8° west of north so the plane needs to head 8° east of north.
Wind =25 km/hr
Plane = 175 km/hr

Example 3
• Using the same plane in example 2, what would the magnitude of the resultant vector be?– Since north and west, don’t need
components, just use the pythagorean theorem.
1752 + 25 2 = R 2
R = 177 km/hr
