Notes- Adding Vectors

1. If you walk 3 mi East and 4 mi East what is your displacement? Draw a vector diagram. (scale: 1 cm= 1 mi) The resultant is the displacement 2. If you walk 3 mi East and 4 mi North what is your displacement? Draw a vector diagram. (scale: 1 cm = 1 mi)

Walking 3 mi E. and 4 mi N. is equivalent to walking 5 mi along resultant vector. Adding vectors is different from adding scalars! 3. Use the parallelogram method to find the resultant vector. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector? (scale: 1 cm = 1 unit) Step 1: Draw parallelogram a) Step 2: Draw diagonal Note: All vectors have arrows! What is the magnitude of the resultant?
