Remember….When drawing vectors…
length = magnitude (with scale)
angle = direction of the vector quantity.
When drawing and moving vectors, these two characteristics must be maintained

3 forces act on an object at the same time. Fnet is not 15 N because these forces aren’t working together. But they’re not completely opposing each either. So how do find Fnet ? The answer is to add the vectors ... not their magnitudes, but the vectors themselves. There are two basic ways to add vectors: 1. Tip to tail method
![Page 7: Glencoe Physics Ch 4 Remember…. When drawing vectors… length = magnitude (with scale) angle = direction of the vector quantity. When drawing and moving](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949884c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tip to Tail Methodin-line examples
Place the tail of one vector at the tip of the other. The vector sum (also called the resultant) is shown in red. It starts where the black vector began and goes to the tip of the blue one. In these cases, the vector sum represents the net force. You can only add or subtract magnitudes when the vectors are in-line!

Tip to Tail – 2 Vectors
5 m
2 m
To add the red and blue displacement vectors first note: • Vectors can only be added if they are of the same quantity—in this case, displacement.
• The magnitude of the resultant must be less than 7 m (5 + 2 = 7) and greater than 3 m (5 - 2 = 3).
5 m
2 m
blue +
black
Interpretation: Walking 5 m in the direction of the blue vector and then 2 m in the direction of the black one is equivalent to walking in the direction of the red vector. The distance walked this way is the red vector’s magnitude.

As with scalars (ordinary numbers), the order of addition is irrelevant with vectors. Note that the resultant (black vector) is the same magnitude and direction in each case.
If you’ve drawn everything to scale, and drawn the angles correctly, then you can simply measure the resultant vector and (using your scale) determine its magnitude.

We can add 3 or more vectors by placing them tip to tail in any order, so long as they are of the same type (force, velocity, displacement, etc.).

Parallelogram Method1. Create parallelogram using
“copies” of the two vectors
2. Draw Resultant vector from tail of first vector to tip of last vector.
3. You cannot add more than 2 vectors at a time with this method, so…how do you add 3 or 4 vectors with this method???
Note: Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Pythagorean Theorem
34 m/s
30.814 m/s
2514.369 m/s
Since components always form a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem holds: (14.369)2 + (30.814)2 = (34)2.
Note that a component can be as long, but no longer, than the vector itself. This is because the sides of a right triangle can’t be longer than the hypotenuse.

This side is always opposite this angle.
These two sides are repeated.
It matters not which side is called A, B, and R, so long as the two rules above are followed. This law is like the Pythagorean theorem with a built in correction term of -2 AB cos Θ . This term allows us to work with non-right triangles. Note if Θ = 90, this term drops out (cos 90 = 0), and we have the normal Pythagorean theorem.

boat? If the river is 136 m wide, how long
does it take the motorboat to reach the other side?

Solution: Calculation of time• If the river is 136 m wide, how

Any vector directed in two dimensions can be thought of as having two parts
Each part of a two-dimensional vector is known as a component.

Multiply the magnitude of the original vector by the sine & cosine of the angle made with the horizontal. The units of the components are the same as the units for the original vector.

cosine adjacent side
sine opposite side

Note that 30.814 + 14.369 > 34. Adding up vector components gives the original vector (green + red = black), but adding up the magnitudes of the components is meaningless.
Component Example
34 m/s
-30.814 m/s
205-14.369 m/s
A helicopter is flying at 34 m/s at 25 S of W (south of west). The magnitude of the horizontal component is 34 cos 205 -30.814 m/s. This is how fast the copter is traveling to the west. The magnitude of the vertical component is 34 sin 205 -14.369 m/s. This is how fast it’s moving to the south.

Wonder Woman Jet ProblemSuppose Wonder Woman is flying her invisible jet. Her onboard controls display a velocity of 304 mph 10 E of N. A wind blows at 195 mph in the direction of 32 N of E. What is her velocity with respect to Aqua Man, who is resting poolside down on the ground?
We know the first two vectors; we need to find the third. First we’ll find it using the laws of sines & cosines, then we’ll check the result using components. Either way, we need to make a vector diagram.

The 80 angle at the lower right is the complement of the 10 angle. The two 80 angles are alternate interior. The 100 angle is the supplement of the 80 angle. Now we know the angle between red and blue is 132.

The law of cosines says: v2 = (304)2 + (195)2 - 2 (304) (195) cos 132 So, v = 458 mph. Note that the last term above appears negative, but it’s really positive, since cos 132 < 0. The law of sines says:
sin 132 sin v 195

So, sin = 195 sin 132 / 458, and 18.45

This means the angle between green and the horizontal is 80 - 18.45 61.6
Therefore, from Aqua Man’s perspective, Wonder Woman is flying at 458 mph at 61.6 N of E.

Comparison of Methods
We ended up with same result for Wonder Woman doing it in two different ways. Each way requires some work. You can only use the laws of sines & cosines if:
• you’re dealing with exactly 3 vectors. (If you’re adding three vectors, the resultant makes 4, and this method won’t work
• the vectors form a triangle.
Regardless of the method, draw a vector diagram! To determine which two vectors add to the third, use the subscript trick.
