Graphical Addition of Vectors
A resultant vector represents the sum of two or more vectors.
Vectors can be added graphically.
A student walks from his house to his friend’s house (a), then from his friend’s house to the school (b). The student’s resultant displacement (c) can be found by using a ruler and a protractor.

Section 1 Introduction to Vectors
Triangle Method of Addition
Vectors can be moved parallel to themselves in a diagram.
Thus, you can draw one vector with its tail starting at the tip of the other as long as the size and direction of each vector do not change.
The resultant vector can then be drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector.

One method for diagraming the motion of an object employs vectors and the use of the x- and y-axes.
Axes are often designated using fixed directions.

Determining Resultant Magnitude and Direction
In Section 1, the magnitude and direction of a resultant were found graphically.
With this approach, the accuracy of the answer depends on how carefully the diagram is drawn and measured.

The Pythagorean Theorem
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
The Pythagorean theorem states that for any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse—the side opposite the right angle—equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, or legs.

Resolving Vectors into Components
You can often describe an object’s motion more conveniently by breaking a single vector into two components, or resolving the vector.
The components of a vector are the projections of the vector along the axes of a coordinate system.
Resolving a vector allows you to analyze the motion in each direction.

You can find the magnitude and the direction of the resultant by resolving each of the plane’s displacement vectors into its x and y components.
Then the components along each axis can be added together.
As shown in the figure, these sums will be the two perpendicular components of the resultant, d. The resultant’s magnitude can then be found by using the Pythagorean theorem, and its direction can be found by using the inverse tangent function.

To solve projectile problems, apply the kinematic equations in the horizontal and vertical directions.
In the vertical direction, the acceleration ay will equal –g (–9.81 m/s2) because the only vertical component of acceleration is free-fall acceleration.
In the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero, so the velocity is constant.

A zookeeper finds an escaped monkey hanging from a light pole. Aiming her tranquilizer gun at the monkey, she kneels 10.0 m from the light pole,which is 5.00 m high. The tip of her gun is 1.00 m above the ground. At the same moment that the monkey drops a banana, the zookeeper shoots.

4 . Find out how far each object will fall during this time. Use the free-fall kinematic equation in both cases.
For the banana, vi = 0. Thus:
yb = ½ay(t)2 = ½(–9.81 m/s2)(0.215 s)2 = –0.227 m
The dart has an initial vertical component of velocity equal to vi sin , so:
yd = (vi sin q)(t) + ½ay(t)2
yd = (50.0 m/s)(sin 21.8)(0.215 s) +½(–9.81 m/s2)(0.215 s)2
yd = 3.99 m – m = 3.76 m

5 . Analyze the results.
Find the final height of both the banana and the dart.
ybanana, f = yb,i+ yb = 5.00 m + (–0.227 m)
ybanana, f = 4.77 m above the ground
ydart, f = yd,i+ yd = 1.00 m m
ydart, f = 4.76 m above the ground
The dart hits the banana. The slight difference is due to rounding.
