ENGAGING ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 1: Graphical Representation of Vectors

You will need

Ruler protractor pencil meterstick
Procedure
1. Walk around the four corners of your classroom. Record the direction of your paths. 2. Measure
the lengths and the widths of the room in meters.
3. Record the measured lengths and widths with the specified direction.
4. Represent the quantities graphically by using a convenient scale.
Questions:
1. What is the length? Width?
Length = 6m
Width = 6m
2. Give the direction of your path while walking along the lengths and widths of the room.

6m

A=LxW
A=6x6

Am = 36 meters

6m
Students

3. Represent your results graphically using a specified scale

Activity 2: (Graphing of Victors). Represent the following vectors graphically:

A. 40 Units, 45°C North to East

40 units NE

45°

B. 50 Units, 30° South of West

30°
50 Units SW

C. 4O units 45° Counterclockwise from the (+) x- axis.

Y
40 units
X

D. 50 Units, 30° clockwise from the (-) y-axis.

50 units SW
ACTIVITY 3: (Scalar addition) In separate paper, solve the following problem with complete solution.

1. If area A1=20cm2 and area A2=36cm2, the total is A= A1 + A2?

A = A1 + A2
A1= 20𝑐𝑚2 A2 = 36𝑐𝑚2
A = 20𝑐𝑚2 + 36𝑐𝑚2
A = 56 𝑐𝑚2

2. If the mass (m1) = 15kg and the second mass (m2) = 250g. Find the total mass m= m1 + m2.
Convert kg to grams.

m = m2 + m2 1kg=1000g
m1 = 15kg (15000g) m2 = 250g 15 x 1000
m = 15000g + 250g = 15,000
m = 15,250

ACTIVITY 4. (Vector Addition) In separate paper. Solve the given vectors and find the
resultant with exact direction.

1. A= 7 units, East 7 units 3 units

B= 3 units, East
10 units East

2. A= 8 units, East 8 units

B= 4 units, West
4 units
4 units East

3. A= 2 Units, East 2 units

B= 8 Units, West 8 units

6 units west

4. A= 3 Units, East 3 units

B= 9 Units, West
9 units

6 units west
ACTIVITY 5: Graphical Method (Parallelogram). illustrate the given magnitude in the
problem. Use separate paper and scientific calculator.
