1 Then/Now You used trigonometry to solve triangles. (Lesson 5-4) Represent and operate with vectors geometrically. Solve vector problems and resolve vectors into their rectangular components.

2 Vocabulary vector initial point terminal point standard position direction magnitude quadrant bearing true bearing parallel vectors equivalent vectors opposite vectors resultant triangle method parallelogram method zero vector components rectangular components

3 Example 1 Identify Vector Quantities A. State whether a hockey puck shot northwest at 60 miles per hour is a vector quantity or a scalar quantity. Vector – a quantity that has both magnitude (length) and direction. B. State whether a tennis ball served at 110 miles per hour is a vector quantity or a scalar quantity. C. State whether a sprinter running 100 meters north is a vector quantity or a scalar quantity.

4 Example 2 Represent a Vector Geometrically A. Draw an arrow diagram for v = 10 newtons of force at 30° to the horizontal. B. Draw an arrow diagram for z = 25 meters per second at a bearing of S70°W.

5 Example 2 Represent a Vector Geometrically D. Draw an arrow diagram for t = 10 miles per hour at a bearing of 025°. C. Draw an arrow diagram for z = 150 meters per second at a bearing of W45°N.

6 Key Concept 3

7 Example 4 Operations with Vectors Draw a vector diagram of a + b

8 Example 4 Operations with Vectors Draw a vector diagram of a – 3b.

9 Example 4 Draw a vector diagram of n + 2m. A. B. C. D.

10 Example 5 ROWING Jamie rows her boat due east at a speed of 20 feet per second across a river directly toward the opposite bank. At the same time, the current of the river is carrying her due south at a rate of 4 feet per second. Find Jamie’s speed and direction relative to the shore.

11 Example 5 Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems AVIATION An airplane is flying with an airspeed of 475 miles per hour on a heading of 070°. If an 80- mile-per-hour wind is blowing from a true heading of 120°, determine the velocity and direction of the plane relative to the ground.

12 Example 6 A. GARDENING While digging in his garden, Will pushes a shovel into the ground with a force of 630 newtons at an angle of 70° with the ground. Draw a diagram that shows the resolution of the force that Will exerts into its rectangular components. Resolve a Force into Rectangular Components

13 Example 6 B. GARDENING While digging in his garden, Will pushes a shovel into the ground with a force of 630 newtons at an angle of 70° with the ground. Find the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force. The horizontal and vertical components of the force form a right triangle. Use the sine or cosine ratios to find the magnitude of each force. Resolve a Force into Rectangular Components

14 Example 6 SOCCER A player kicks a soccer ball so that it leaves the ground with a velocity of 39 feet per second at an angle of 37° with the ground. Find the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity. A.horizontal component ≈ 28.75 ft/s; vertical component ≈ 23.28 ft/s B.horizontal component ≈ 37 ft/s; vertical component ≈ 39 ft/s C.horizontal component ≈ 31.15 ft/s; vertical component ≈ 23.47 ft/s D.horizontal component ≈ 23.47 ft/s; vertical component ≈ 31.15 ft/s
