1. MAGNITUDE
2. SCALAR VS VECTOR
3. HEAD AND TAIL METHOD
4. DISTANCE DISPLACEMENT
 Objectives:
● Determine the vector sum of two or more
vectors;
● Apply the Pythagorean theorem formula in
getting the resultant vector;
● Determine the vector resultant using the
component method
1. What do you call the arrows pointing north and pointing east?
2. What does the diagonal arrow labeled “dR” indicate?
3. Why are there 2 units on each given?
VECTOR QUANTITY
- Tells the magnitude on a
body together with a given
direction.
VECTOR
- It can be represented by an
arrow. The longer the arrow, the
greater the magnitude.
10 meters

VECTOR
- Tail indicates the origin or starting point.
- Length indicates the magnitude(how fast,
how far, how long, how strong).
- Head indicates the direction of the
action/motion.

TRIGONOMETRIC
FUNCTION
If two vectors are in the
same direction, their sum is
in the same direction and
its magnitude is the sum of
the magnitude of the two.
Example:
If you and your friend push a
heavy trunk with forces F1 of 200N
and F2 of 300N in the same
direction, the net effect is that of a
500N force in that direction.
 FR

F1 F2

Newton (N) - FORCE

F1 - force 1
F2 - force 2
FR - resultant force
Any vector can be expressed as the
sum of vectors parallel to the x and
y and if needed the z- axes. The x,-
y- and z - components of a vector
indicate the magnitude and
direction of the three vectors along
the axes.
A component has magnitude, and an
algebraic sign of positive (+) or negative
(-). The sign of a component indicates the
direction along that axis. A positive x-
component indicates the direction of the
positive x- axis, but a negative x -
component indicates the
opposite direction (negative x-axis).
Consider force vector F in figure
2. We can think of F as the sum
of two vectors, one parallel to
the x-axis and the other parallel
to the y-axis.
In component method of adding
vectors, we can find the magnitudes
of the components using the right
triangle in figure 2 and the
trigonometric functions in figure 3.
The length of the arrow represents the magnitude
of the F, Given the value of the resultant force F =
9.0N and the angle theta (0) = 560, we can find the
magnitude of the force in x-component in figure 2
by using the trigonometric function.

function in solving
the problem below.
