Vector Addition Flashcards
There are two ways in which adding vectors is illustrated this are:
Graphical Method and Analytical Method
Must accurately draw the vectors to be added.
Graphical
Proper scaling must be done to arrive at the correct value of the resultant vector.
Graphical
The use of rules and protractor is a MUST
Graphical
What is the resultant of vectors that are negative of each other?
0
What is the resultant of a pair of parallel vectors with equal magnitude (x)?
2x
Angles in standard position can be sometimes be negative too?
True
This method requires computation of the x and y components of the vector.
Analytical Method
The familiarization with geometry and trigonometry concepts is a MUST.
Analytical
Find the resultant vector of Vectors A & B if A is 6m East and B is 8 m, North.
R is 10 meters and 5*
What may represent the magnitude of the resultant vector
R
