- What is a vector? In physics vector is an element of a vector space. Vector that is used to describe anything that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically drawn as a pointed arrow. The length of the arrow represented the magnitude of the vector. The starting point of the vector is also known as the tail and the final is called the head or tip of an arrow.
- Name a vector quantity and its magnitude. Examples of vector quantities including velocity, displacement, acceleration, position, torque and force.
Example:
Example:
Force (F1) = 4 N @ 25°
Force (F2) = 6 N @ 120°
Example 2: A girl walks 4 km due north then turns and walks 5 km due east.
Total distance= 4km + 5km
- What is equilibrant? The equilibrant in physics is defined as something that will balance one or more unbalanced forces. It is a vector with the same length as the resultant, but the equilibrant points in the opposite direction. That force that will bring an object to equilibrium by balancing the other forces.
For Questions 5, 6 and 7, use the following values:
A= 5.0 N at 135.0° B= 6.0 N at 270°
If you get the same answer for Questions 5 & 6, ask for help!
- Using the component method, add vectors A and B (i.e., R = A + B).
- Using the components methods, add vectors A, and – B (i.e., R = A – B).
Procedure Part 1: Tail to Head Method
Solution for Tail to Head Method:
% Error & Accuracy:
Part 2: Forcetable via Desmos:
Graph:
- Consider six vectors that are added tail to head, ending up where they started from.
What is the magnitude of ⃗⃗?
