The Language of Science
How we communicate
![Page 2: The Language of Science How we communicate. Describing an object Scalars Quantity that can be expressed with a single number 10 gallons, 30 miles, 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649eef5503460f94bffabb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Describing an object Scalars
Quantity that can be expressed with a single number
10 gallons, 30 miles, 20 years Expressed in magnitude only
Vectors Quantity expressed with a number and
direction Expressed in magnitude and direction 30 miles east, 24 m/s north

How do we represent vectors?
The arrow is called a vector. The length represents the
magnitude of the objects speed. The direction represents the
direction of the applied velocity.

Examples Calculate the resultant velocity of
Freda Flyer who normally flies at 100 km/h and then encounters a 10 km/h headwind.
100 km/H 10 km/h
90 km/h

Adding Vectors
80 km/h
60 km/h
Resultant = 100 km/h

Vector Components Changing a single vector into it’s
vertical and horizontal components is called resolution or decomposition.
Vertical component
Horizontal Component

Solving for the resultant Pythagorean Theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
5 km/h
5 km/h(5 km/h)2 + (5 km/h)2 = _________

Equations – What are they good for? Equations help us describe what
happens and relationships. Equations are a shorthand form of
expressing ideas. Equations can be expressed in
graphical format.
