4 Last year, we learned how to add vectors along a single axis. The example we used was for adding two displacements. 1. Draw the first vector, beginning at the origin, with its tail at the origin. 2. Draw the second vector with its tail at the tip of the first vector. Slide 40 / 125 Adding Vectors

5 Last year, we learned how to add vectors along a single axis. The example we used was for adding two displacements. Slide 41 / 125 Adding Vectors 1. Draw the first vector, beginning at the origin, with its tail at the origin. 2. Draw the second vector with its tail at the tip of the first vector. 3. Draw the Resultant (the answer) from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last.

6 Slide 42 / 125 Adding Vectors The direction of each vector matters. In this first case, the vector sum of: 5 units to the East plus 2 units to West is 3 units to the East.

7 The direction of each vector matters. For instance, if the second vector had been 2 units to the EAST (not west), we get a different answer. Slide 43 / 125 Adding Vectors In this second case, the vector sum of: 5 units to the East plus 2 units to EAST is 7 units to the East.

8 But how about if the vectors are along different axes. Slide 44 / 125 Adding Vectors in 2-D For instance, let's add vectors of the same magnitude, but along different axes. What is the vector sum of: 5 units East plus 2 units North

9 1. Draw the first vector, beginning at the origin, with its tail at the origin. Slide 45 / 125 Adding Vectors

10 1. Draw the first vector, beginning at the origin, with its tail at the origin. 2. Draw the second vector with its tail at the tip of the first vector. Slide 46 / 125 Adding Vectors

11 1. Draw the first vector, beginning at the origin, with its tail at the origin. Slide 47 / 125 Adding Vectors 2. Draw the second vector with its tail at the tip of the first vector. 3. Draw the Resultant (the answer) from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last.

12 Slide 48 / 125 Adding Vectors Drawing the Resultant is the same as we did last year. But calculating its magnitude and direction require the use of right triangle mathematics. c a b We know the length of both SIDES of the triangle (a and b), but we need to know the length of the HYPOTENUSE (c).

13 The magnitude of the resultant is equal to the length of the vector. Slide 49 / 125 Magnitude of a Resultant We get the magnitude of the resultant from the Pythagorean Theorem: c 2 = a 2 + b 2 or in this case: R 2 = R 2 = R 2 = 29 R = # (29) = 5.4 units c =? a = 5 units b = 2 units

18 In physics, we say the direction of a vector is equal to the angle # between a chosen axis and the resultant. Slide 52 / 125 Adding Vectors In Kinematics, we will primarily use the x-axis to measure θ. # However, if we were to change the axis we used and apply the proper mathematical techniques, we should get the same result!

19 To find the value of the angle θ, we need to use what we already know: Slide 53 / 125 Adding Vectors the length of the two sides opposite and adjacent to the angle. # (remember SOH CAH TOA)

20 Slide 54 / 125 Adding Vectors tan(θ) = opp / adj tan(θ) = (2 units) / (5 units) tan(θ) = 2/5 tan(θ) = 0.40 # To find the value of θ, we must take the inverse tangent: θ = tan -1 (0.40) = 22 0
