K. Allison. Engagement. If a plane and the wind are blowing in the . opposite . direction, then the plane’s velocity . will . de. crease. .. Today we will learn how we can represent events like this.. A.S. 1.3.1 – 1.3.4. Scalar Quantities. Those values, measured or coefficients, that are complete when reported with only a magnitude. Examples:. . the table is 2.5 m long. . He ran the 100. m race in 12.65 s.. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Scalars. p. etra.ryrstedt@lund.se. Polhemskolan, Lund, Sweden. Nspire and . vectors. This. . year. I . used four different files to teach. my . students. . about. . vectors. I have used these files several times but every time . At the end of yesterday, we addressed the case of using the dot product to determine the angles between vectors. Similar to equations from algebra, we can talk about relationship of vectors as well. Parallel. Any vector can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. v. v. x. v. y. A Helicopter is traveling . above a highway at . 29m/s at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to flat ground.. . How fast would a sports car have to travel to stay beneath the helicopter?. Matrices. Definition: A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or symbolic elements. In many applications, the rows of a matrix will represent individuals cases (people, items, plants, animals,...) and columns will represent attributes or characteristics. Motivating Question. : An Airplane flies north with an airspeed of 575 mph. If the wind is blowing 30° north of east at 50 mph, what is the speed of the plane as measured from the ground? What if the wind blew south of west?. . Vectors. . . . When an object moves along a straight line, its velocity can be determined by a single number that represents both magnitude and direction. (forward if positive and backward if negative.. Scalar. A . SCALAR. is ANY quantity in physics that has . MAGNITUDE. , but NOT a direction associated with it.. Magnitude. – A numerical value with units.. Scalar Example. Magnitude. Speed. 20 m/s. The line and arrow used in Ch.3 showing magnitude and direction is known as the . Graphical Representation. Used when drawing vector diagrams. When using printed materials, it is known as . Algebraic Representation. 3D Coordinate System. Vectors in Space. Real life applications. Review from 10.1. Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction (same length and are parallel). The zero vector, denoted by 0, is a vector with zero magnitude (undefined direction). Chapter 3 pg. . 81-105. What do you think?. How are measurements such as mass and volume different from measurements such as velocity and acceleration?. How can you add two velocities that are in different directions?.
