Question
Answer
3 methods for adding and subtracting vector values.   1.tip-to-tail 2. Component 3.Vector Notation  
🗑
Tip-to-Tail Method is?   Place tip end of one vector (A) at the tail end of the following vector (B). The resulting vector from tail of 1st vector to tip of 2nd vector will read A+B;  
🗑
Component method?   This method involves breaking each vector into perpendicular components. Given vector (V), draw right triangle with (V) as hypotenuse. Solve for X and Y components through trig functions.  
🗑
Vector Notation   Defining two dimensional vectors by their x and y components Add different x and y components A = 3i + 5j B = 2i + -5j = 5i + 0j  
🗑
Multiplication (Vector)*(Vector)   (Vector)*(Vector) = Scalar Multiply magnitudes and cos of angle between two A*B = |A| |B| cos∅  
🗑
Multiplication (Vector)*(Vector)   (Vector)*(Vector) = vector Multiply magnitudes and sin of angle between two A*B = |A| |B| sin∅  
🗑
Scalar Examples   Distance = d Speed = v Time = t Energy = E Mass = m  
🗑
Vector Examples   Displacement = d Velocity = v acceleration = a Force = F Torque = \tau t  
🗑
Speed/Velocity   Speed denotes to [L]/[T}, Distance traveled/elapsed time. Velocity denotes to same but with the added part of what direction. v= displacement/elapsed time  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
