3. 3.2 vector operations Objectives
Identify appropriate coordinate systems for solving problems with vectors.
Apply the Pythagorean theorem and tangent function to calculate the magnitude and direction of a resultant vector.
Resolve vectors into components using the sine and cosine functions.
Add vectors that are not perpendicular.

4. Use your knowledge of sign conventions from Chapter 2 to fill in the blanks below.
Movement to the right along the x-axis is considered _____. Movement downward along the y-axis is considered ______. Movement upward along the y-axis is considered ________. Movement to the left along the x-axis is considered _______.(positive; negative; positive; negative)

5. Coordinate systems in two dimensions
Page 88 figure 3-6
Question: which set of axes will give the correct answer?
In order to describe motion of an object in two dimensions, we use two axes to describe its movement.

6. Determine resultant magnitude and direction
Example: Joe leaves the base camp and hikes 11 km, north and then hikes 11 km east. Determine Joe's resulting displacement.
11 km
11 km
R = ? θ

7. Using Pythagorean theorem to determine the magnitude of the resultant
This procedure is restricted to the addition of two vectors that make right angles to each other.

8. Using tangent function to determine a Vector's Direction

9. Note: The measure of an angle as determined through use of SOH CAH TOA is not always the direction of the vector.
R2 = (5.0km)2 + (10km)2
R = 11 km
Or at 26 degrees south of west

Homework: castle learning

18. RESOLVING VECTORS INTO COMPONENTS
In mathematics, the components of a vector are called projections. You draw a coordinate system by the tail of the vector. The x component is the projection of the vector along the x-axis, and the y component is the projection of the vector along the y-axis. y A Ay x Ax
Appendix A, pp

19. All Vectors can be broken into COMPONENTS
X-Y system of components: θ is measured from 0o
AX = A cos θ
AY = A sin θ
Example
vi = 5.0 m/s at 30°
vix = 5.0 m/s (cos 30°) = 4.33 m/s
viy = 5.0 m/s (sin 30°) = 2.5 m/s
Any vector can be broken into unlimited sets of components depends on the coordinates

20. Example
An arrow is shot from a bow at an angle of 25o above the horizontal with an initial speed of 45 m/s. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the arrow’s initial velocity.
The arrow strikes the target with the speed of 45 m/s at an angle of -25o with respect to the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the arrow’s final velocity.
45 m/s vy
vx= vcosθ = (45 m/s) cos 25o = 41 m/s
25o vx
vx= vcosθ = (45 m/s) cos (-25o) = 41 m/s vx
-25o
vy= vsinθ = (45 m/s) sin (-25o) = -19 m/s vy
45 m/s

21. What’s wrong?
A skyrocket travels 113 m at an angle of 82.4 degrees with respect to the ground and toward the south. What is the rocket’s horizontal displacement?
vx = v cosθ
vx = (113 m) cos 82.4o
vx = 14.9 m

23. Adding vectors that are not perpendicular
Add the components of the original displacement vectors to find two components that form a right triangle with the resultant vector.

24. Adding vectors algebraically
Select a coordinate system, draw a sketch of the vectors to be added, and label each vector.
Find the x and y components of all vectors.
Ax=AcosθA; Ay=AsinθA; Bx=BcosθB; By=BsinθB
Find the x and y component of the resultant vector:
Rx=Ax + Bx; Ry=Ay + By
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
Use tan-1 function to find the angle the resultant vector makes with the x-axis.
Evaluate your answer.
