1 Quantities

We come into contact with many physical quantities in the natural world on a
daily basis. For example, things like time, mass, weight, force, and electric charge,
are physical quantities with which we are all familiar. We know that time passes and
physical objects have mass. Things have weight due to gravity. We exert forces
when we open doors, walk along the street and kick balls. We experience electric
charge directly through static shocks in winter and through using anything which
runs on electricity.

There are many physical quantities in nature, and we can divide them up into
two broad groups called vectors and scalars.

What’s In

Which of the following contains two vectors and a scalar?


a. distance, acceleration, speed
b. displacement, velocity, acceleration

What’s New

VECTOR QUANTITY
 Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
 There are numerous ways of representing a vector which includes ⃗
V , and F
(boldface).
 Examples of vectors are: Force, Velocity, Acceleration and Displacement
VECTOR DIRECTIONS

VECTOR DIRECTION USING GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES

EQUAL VECTORS
 Vectors are equal when they have the same magnitude and direction.

 Example: ⃗
AB=⃗
CD


AB
A B


CD
C D
NEGATIVE VECTORS
 The vector (-) A has the same magnitude as the vector (+) A but has opposite
direction.
 Example


AB
A B


CD
C D

SCALAR QUANTITY
 Scalars are quantities that have magnitude or size only.
 There are absolutely no directional components in a scalar quantity.
 For example, a person buys a tub of margarine which is labelled with a mass
of 500 g.
 Examples of scalar quantities are: Mass, Temperature, Distance, Speed,
Work, Time

Vector Addition
2
In the discussion of vector addition, we saw that a number of vectors acting
together can be combined to give a single vector (the resultant). In much the same
way a single vector can be broken down into a number of vectors which when
added give that original vector. These vectors which sum to the original are called
components of the original vector. The process of breaking a vector into its
components is called resolving into components.

In practice it is most useful to resolve a vector into components which are at right
angles to one another, usually horizontal and vertical. Think about all the problems
we've solved so far. If we have vectors parallel to the x- and y-axes problems are
straightforward to solve.

Any vector can be resolved into a horizontal and a vertical component. If R⃗ is a


vector, then the horizontal component of R⃗ is R⃗ x and the vertical component is R⃗ y.

What’s In

Differentiate scalar and vector quantities.

Draw the given vector graphically 100 m NE.

Notes to the Teacher


It is significant that learners had background on
integers and trigonometric functions and
Pythagorean Theorem.
What’s New

HOW TO PERFORM ADDITION OF VECTORS?


 In order to add two vectors, we think of them as displacements.
Displacement is simply a change in position of a point.
 There are two ways in adding vectors: Triangle Law of Vector Addition and
Parallelogram Law for Adding Vectors
TRIANGLE LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION
 It states that when two vectors are represented by two sides of a triangle in
magnitude and direction taken in the same order then the third side of that
triangle represents its resultant.
Example

 Step 1: Bring the head of ⃑A to the tail of ⃑


B . Do this without changing the
direction and length of the vector.


B


A

A and the head of ⃑


 Step 2: Join the tail of ⃑ Bby a straight line with an arrow
pointing towards the head of B. ⃑


C

B


A

 The sum of the vectors ⃑ B which is ⃑


A and ⃑ C is called the vector sum or the
resultant vector.
PARALLELOGRAM LAW FOR ADDING VECTORS
 Instead of making the second vector start where the first one finishes, we
make them both start at the same place, a complete parallelogram. It gives
the same result as the triangle law, because one of the properties of a
parallelogram is that opposite sides are equal and in the same direction, so
that it is repeated at the top of the parallelogram.
Example

 Step 1: Project vector ⃑


A at the top and ⃑
B at the other side.


A


B


B


A

 Step 2: Draw the resultant ⃑


C the tip of the two tils to the opposite vertex of
the parallelogram.


A


B ⃑
C


B


A

 NOTE!!!: With these two methods we usually use Pythagorean Theorem and
basic trigonometric function.
Example
 A cross country skier skis 1.00 km North and then 2.00 km East on a
horizontal snow field. How far and in what direction is she from the starting
point?

2.00 km

Resultant displacement

 Formula:

 c = √ a2 +b 2

 c= resultant a= 1.00 km b= 2.00 km


 Solution:

 c = √ 1.002 +2.002

 = √ 1.00+4.00

 ¿ √ 5.00

 c = 2.24 km

Cartesian coordinate system.

Note: The general method of adding vectors is called method of


components

COMPONENT
• It is a single number used to describe a component vector that likes along a
coordinate-axis direction.

• A y = Asinθ

• A x = Acosθ

• Note: Components are not vectors. The components A x and A y of the vector

A are just numbers unlike the component vectors which have directions.
Example

• Given that the vector ⃗A has an initial point at the origin and a terminal point
at (2,2). What are the components of ⃗ A?
• To get the component of ⃗
A we use:
• ⃗
A = ( X 2 - X 1 , Y 2 - Y 1)
• = (2 – 0, 2 – 0)

What I Have Learned


1. A scalar is a physical quantity with magnitude only.

2. A vector is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction.

3. Vectors may be represented as arrows where the length of the arrow

indicates the magnitude and the arrowhead indicates the direction of the

vector.

4. The resultant vector is the single vector whose effect is the same as the

individual vectors acting together.

5. The components of a vector are a series of vectors that, when combined,

give the original vector as their resultant.

6. Components are usually created that align with the Cartesian coordinate

axes. For a vector F⃗ that makes an angle of θ with the positive x-axis the x-

component is R⃗ x=Rcos(θ) and the y-component is R⃗ y=Rsin(θ).
