Name: Vector Map Activity On the map below draw the vectors needed to travel form Point A to the

exit using heads and labels for each vector. Vectors directions should be north-south or east-west. Follow the instructions on the back to find the resultant. (Scale: 1 box = 0.5 meters)

Exit

Vector List Create a vector list from Point A to the exit North South East

West

Find the resultant by answering the following questions:

1. Add all the north direction vector lengths together. Add the south direction vector lengths together and find the difference between the north and the south. Total: addition of all north direction vector lengths __________ Total: addition of all south direction vector lengths __________ Difference between north and south vector lengths__________ Direction of resulting motion (North or South) ________ 2. Add all the east direction vector lengths together. Add the west direction vector lengths together and find the difference between the east and the west. Total: addition of all of the east direction vector lengths ________ Total: addition of all of the west direction vector lengths _______ Difference between east and west vector lengths________ Direction of resulting motion (East or West) ______ 3. Draw the vector components to scale by using your answers to questions 1 and 2. Calculate the magnitude (size) of the displacement (resultant) by using the Pythagorean Theorem or your measurements. Measure the resultants angle and direction. 4. Draw to scale on a sheet of graph paper, the vectors and the resultant in meters. Label the each vector with size and direction. 5. How can you figure out the resultant vectors size and direction when you travel around a building in a path that involves north-south and east-west vectors? Use what you learned during this activity.
