For teamwork Tuesday we worked on Add and subtract Vectors handout
Resultant – the result of adding / subtraction vectors together
Read TIP TO TAIL
The resultant vector start at the first tail and ends at the last tip
If you do not understand adding and subtracting vectors please watch these two videos:
Homework: Given Adding and Subtracting Vectors handout and was told about an assignment that had to be picked up and handed in
May 4th, 2011 Jennifer Taylor MATH CANCELLED TODAY Homework: N/A May 6th, 2010 Jane Yang
We went out to play the scavenger hunt, which was unfortunately postponed
Homework: Finish handouts if not already done so Applications for Vector Addition Monday, May 9, 2011. By: Arlanna Pugh
Overview:Today in class we did a Mid-Unit Vector Review, where we let vector AX = a and vector AY = b in the rectangle ABCD. It was good practice for representing vector segments with variables and expressing their resultant vectors in addition statements of these variables.
In-Class Worksheet:Mid Unit Vector ReviewAnswers were taken up in class.

Intro to Vectors
IMAGES NOT WORKING
all diagrams are in the attached word document
Number Properties
Scalar – has magnitude only (height, mass, speed,age)
Vector – has magnitude and direction (displacement, velocity, force)
Representing Vectors
1. Words- 5km at an angle of 20° to the horizontal
2. Diagrams – on attached doc
Example- on attached doc
Magnitude of Vector written using absolute value brackets
Direction
1. true bearing
2. compass bearing

Types of Vectors
1. Parallel vectors
- Same or opposite direction
2. Equivalent Vectors
- Same magnitude and direction
- They can have different locations
3. Opposite Vectors
- Same magnitude but opposite direction
