Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesso
n, you should be
able to:
i)Add tw
o vectors to determine a
resultant (a graphical m
ethod will
suffice)
Vector Addition
•Recall in the earlier lesson, we have learnt how to:
a) Define kinematics quantitiesb) State the definition of these kinematic quantities mathematically.c) Draw s(t) and v(t) graphs from given information.d) Interpret information from s(t) and v(t) graphs.e) Define free fall.f) Interpret situations of non-uniform acceleration.g) Calculate kinematics quantities using the Equations of Uniform
Acceleration.
•There is just one thing left to do to complete the story….
Vector Addition
•Consider the following situation in the video:• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPHoUbCNPX8
(..\..\Videos\RealPlayerDownloads\Vector Addition.flv )•Vehicle is travelling at 100 kmh-1 forward.•Ball is shot backwards at 100 kmh-1.• If both happened together, what will be the velocity of the ball?

the last component vector.

Resultant VectorIn the case of 2D vector addition, the Magnitude of the Resultant Vector can only be calculated using Pythagoras Theorem if the two components are at right angles.

Sometimes, rearranging the component vectors will help in helping you determine the Resultant Vector.

In this situation, we may not be able to use Pythagoras Theorem. If given the angle between the component vectors, we can apply Cosine Rule:
