GENERAL PHYSICS
INTRODUCTION
c
Science seeks truth in nature. Nature refers to earth, space, living and nonliving things. Science is both
a process and a product. Science as a process involves the scientific method of inquiry and scientific attitudes.
Science as a product refers to the systematized body of knowledge like scientific theories and principles.
Science is dynamic. It is hands-on and it changes as the human knowledge increases. Science involves
the individual and collective effort of scientist.

PROBLEM:
Neil Sensei is about to test his new bought drone from Shopee. The drone creates the following
movement as shown on the picture below.
POINTING SYSTEM:
ANGLE AND DIRECTION 5 – Calculations for the angle (θ) completely correct,
properly labeled the direction, and arrived at the correct
final answer.
4 – Calculations and computations are mostly correct,
contain minor errors but arrived at the correct answer.
3 – Calculations and computations contain major errors but
arrived at the correct answer.
2 – Calculations are completely incorrect leading to an
incorrect answer.
1 – No attempt or below grade level work is shown.
Equation
- 𝑉𝑥 = 𝑉 cos 𝜃
- 𝑉𝑅 = √∑ 𝑉𝑥 2 + ∑ 𝑉𝑦 2
- 𝑉𝑦 = 𝑉 sin 𝜃
∑ 𝑉𝑦
- ∑ 𝑉𝑥 = 𝑉1𝑥 + 𝑉2𝑥 + 𝑉3𝑥 + 𝑉4𝑥 - tan 𝜃 = ∑ 𝑉
- ∑ 𝑉𝑦 = 𝑉1𝑦 + 𝑉2𝑦 + 𝑉3𝑦 + 𝑉4𝑦 𝑥
Solution
𝑉1𝑥 = 52 cos(35°) 𝑉1𝑦 = 52 sin(35°)
= 42.6 𝑚 = 29.83 𝑚
𝑉3𝑥 = 0 𝑚 𝑉3𝑦 = 75 𝑚
= 166.68 𝑚 = 126.71 𝑚
126.71 𝑚
𝑉𝑅 = √(166.68 𝑚)2 + (126.71 𝑚)2 tan 𝜃 = 166.68 𝑚
𝑉𝑅 = √43837.65 𝑚 126.71 𝑚
𝜃 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 166.68 𝑚
𝑉𝑅 = 209.37 𝑚
𝜃 = 37.24°
Answer
- The resultant vector and direction is 209.37 m, 37.24˚ North of West
