direction Can be represented by an arrow-tipped
line segment Examples:

Vector Terminology Two or more vectors acting on the same point
are said to be concurrent vectors. The sum of 2 or more vectors is called the
resultant (R). A single vector that can replace concurrent vectors
Any vector can be described as having both x and y components in a coordinate system.
The process of breaking a single vector into its x and y components is called vector resolution.

More Vector Terminology
Vectors are said to be in equilibrium if their sum is equal to zero.
A single vector that can be added to others to produce equilibrium is call the equilibrant (E). Equal to the resultant in magnitude
but opposite in direction.E + R = 0 E = - R E = 5 N R = 5 N

Using the Graphical Method of Vector Addition: Vectors are drawn to scale and the
resultant is determined using a ruler and protractor.
Vectors are added by drawing the tail of the second vector at the head of the first (tip to tail method). The order of addition does not matter.
The resultant is always drawn from the tail of the first to the head of the last vector.

Motion Applications
Perpendicular vectors act independently of one another.
In problems requesting information about motion in a certain direction, choose the vector with the same direction.

Example Problem:Motion in 2 Dimensions
A boat heads east at 8.00 m/s across a river flowing north at 5.00 m/s. If the river is 80.0 m wide, how long
will the boat take to cross the river? How far down stream will the boat be
carried in this amount of time? What is the resultant velocity of the
boat?

If the river is 80.0 m wide, how long will the boat take to cross the river?
v = d / t
t = d / v
80.0 m8.00 m/s
= 10.0 s
![Page 11: Vector Addition Graphical Analytical Component Method](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061407/56649dd45503460f94acc1d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How far down stream will the boat be carried in this amount of time?
v = d / t
d = vt
5.00 m/s (10.0 s) = 50.0 m

tan A = a/btan B = b/a
B = 180° – (A + 90°)

know: 2 angles and an
opposite side 2 sides and an
opposite angle
Cosines when you know: 2 sides and the
angle between them

For right triangles:
Draw a tip to tail sketch first. To determine the magnitude of the
resultant Use the Pythagorean theorem.
To determine the direction Use the tangent function.

To add more than two vectors:
Find the resultant for the first two vectors.
Add the resultant to vector 3 and find the new resultant.
Repeat as necessary.

Solving Vector Problems using the Component Method
Each vector is replaced by 2 perpendicular vectors called components.
Add the x-components and the y-components to find the x- and y-components of the resultant.
Use the Pythagorean theorem and the tangent function to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant.
