Since vectors have magnitude and direction, we cannot combine them the way we do with scalars. Addition of scalars Uses just a simple arithmetic, for example 3kg + 5kg = 8kg. Addition of vectors however is different; the sum depends on the direction of the vectors. Do you also know how to draw different vectors with given magnitude and direction.? Let us first learn how to represent vectors. Pictorially, a vector is represented by drawing an arrow. The length of the arrow signifies the magnitude of the vector. On the other hand, the arrowhead points to the direction of the vector and the tail tells the origin of the vector. Then, we name the vector by a letter with an arrow above it or simply a bold letter. For example, a force vector, F or F which has a magnitude of 50 new tons with direction at an angle of 30° from the horizontal. To represent the given vector through an arrow, an appropriate scale is needed, and a possible scale here would be 1 cm:10 N. This means, our arrow representing the force vector would be 5 cm long. Itis also important to specify the direction by drawing the arrow at an angle by simply applying your Geometry lessons on angles. A protractor is used to draw the vector such that it will make an angle of 30° from the horizontal. Remember, that any change in angle changes the vector so it's good to have a good ruler, protractor eraser and a sharp pencil. Now, let us draw the given force vector.ne + di = Phu E re ba > dln € Ta = 40ON N ieee a Zhu cued Blew > 1GON 42004 ca ae = VO lin d+ dy > Loln eer al ee Trl b, =glan , Seth [ds = On borate ects = 720k 4 10k = Min + Shon piles sor whe, 6 ecActivity 4; FIND MY X AND MY Y Directions: Find the x and y components of each of the following vectors.
