Day 6 Vectors for website.

notebook September 11, 2014

Good Morning
Please grab a warm up
Place your homework in the bin.
I will be grading this assignment for
work/correctness
You will also be needed a communicator
and a marker/eraser

LETS GO STEELERS!!!

Think‐Pair‐Share
Discuss the following with your shoulder partner:

> What is a resultant?

> How do we create a resultant vector?
> What method do we use to add vectors together geometrically?

Sep 10­3:50 PM

Grab those communicators...

What happens when 2 vectors are summed?

u
resultant
u+v v

Communicator activity:
Using your communicator please represent the vector sum
using the "tip‐to‐tail" method. assume to compute

u = < 0, 8 > v = < 9, 0 >

u = < ‐5, 6 > v = < 7, ‐3 >

u = < ‐8, 4 > v = < 8, ‐4 >

u = < 9, ‐7 > v = < 0, ‐3 >

Sep 10­3:53 PM

u = < 0, 8 > v = < 9, 0 >

Now let's put this idea of vectors within a

real‐world context: Consider the problem on Page 705 #57. 
57. Bullet Speed. A bullet is fired from the ground level at a
o
speed of 2200 feet per second at an angle of 30 from the
horizontal. Find the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical
comonents of the velocity vector.

Let's review an Example:
A speedboat traveling 25 miles per hour has a
compass heading of 120 east of north. The
o

current velocity has a magnitude of 10 miles per

hour and its heading is 12 east of north. Find the
o

resultant (actual) velocity

Group work Assignments:

Please move the desks into groups to
#1 ‐ 5 collaborate during the next activity.
I expect you to use your text book as a resource for this
# 6 ‐ 10 problem. I expect you to struggle, but I expect you to
persevere!

#11 ‐ 15
#16 ‐ 20 Unit 1: Vectors Name: _____________________________
Example 7: Alternative Solution Pd: ____ Date: ___________
#21 ‐ 25
A speedboat traveling 30 miles per hour has a compass heading

#26 ‐ 30 at 100° east of north. The current velocity has a magnitude of 15

miles per hour and its heading is 22° east of north. Find the
resultant (actual) velocity of the boat.

#31 ‐ 36

why?

How would we calculate this?

Day 6 Vectors for website.notebook September 11, 2014

What is the resultant velocity of the boat?

Sep 10­4:28 PM

Now for the rest of the class you

will work on Page 706 # 61 ‐ 64
For each question you must:
• Draw a free body diagram that represents the
situation.
• Label your vectors
• Show all steps for solving
• Write your final answer as a complete sentence.

What you do not finish is your

homework assignment!
