1.0 INTRODUCTION TO VECTORS

A vector has both magnitude and direction, and both must be specified in order for it to be
specified. A scalar is a quantity that has magnitude but no direction. The direction of the vector
is from its tail to its head.

2.0 INTRODUCTION TO GREEN STEM

The significance of mathematics in the creation of natural laws is well accepted. STEM, which
stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is viewed from a variety of
angles. STEM education assists in the development of crucial competences and skills, which
is a significant contribution to the workforce in STEM-related sectors. STEM education, on the
other hand, has the potential to improve students' understanding of how things function, boost
their technology literacy, and include more engineering. In summary, Green STEM is an area
that is primarily concerned with greenery items such as plants, leaves and so on.

3.0 CONCEPT OF RELATIVE VECTOR AND RELATIVE POSITION.

Relative vector is generally used to describe the motion of airplanes in the wind or moving boats
through water. The vector difference between the relative vector of two bodies is the vector of a
body with respect to another regarded as being at rest. Position vectors are vectors that begin at
the origin and end at any arbitrary point. These are used to calculate the location of a point with
relation to the origin.

4.0 APPLICATION OF VECTOR IN DAILY LIFE

Vectors have many real-life applications. For example, in vector application in roller coaster.
The majority of the motion of a roller coaster ride is caused by the earth's gravitational pull.
When a train hits a height and then rides downward, it accumulates enough speed to
experience gravitational attraction. Vectors of forces, acceleration, and velocity are vital in
developing a safety system.
Next, in cricket, if a batsman hits a lob shot, he has three options: catch out, drop before the
fielder, or maximum. It relies on the batsman's angle of shot and the velocity with which he
smashes the ball; if everything meets the parameters for maximum force, the ball will travel
beyond the boundary; otherwise, one of the other two incidents will not occur. Because the
ball, it's all about vector.
5.0 PROBLEMS IN RELATIVE VECTOR AND RELATIVE POSITION

Relative vector

(a)

𝐴⃗ = (- i – 2j + 2k) & 𝐵
⃗⃗ = (3j + 4k)
Find the relative vector of AB
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝐴⃗ + 𝐵
𝐴𝐵 ⃗⃗
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = (- 𝑖̂ – 2𝑗̂ + 2𝑘̂) + (3𝑗̂ + 4𝑘̂)
𝐴𝐵
𝐴𝐵 = (- 𝑖̂ + 𝑗̂ + 6𝑘̂)
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

Relative position.

Given a point q= (-10, 5, 3), determine the position vector of point q, R. then, determine the
magnitude of R.

Solution

R= -10i + 5j – 3k
To determine its magnitude, we use
the following equation:
|R| = √(−10)2 + 52 + (−3)2
|R| = √100 + 25 + 9
|R| = √134
6.0 DAILY LIFE PROBLEM

6.1 Sunlight Absorption in Plants

One of the most crucial aspects in cultivating plants is light. Photosynthesis, the mechanism
within a plant that transforms light, oxygen, and water into carbohydrates, is required by all
plants (energy). Carbohydrates cannot be synthesized in the absence of enough light, energy
supplies are reduced, and plants die. The issue in our problem is determining the timing and
position of the sun for the plants to achieve optimal sunlight for photosynthesis. Solar panels
are attached to the roofs of the green house so that can absorb sunlight and store it to be used
in the night. This can save electricity and at the same time can cut the cost. The diagram
illustrates the location and movement of the sun from east to north from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. At
6 p.m., the sunlight partially covers the greenhouse, so Coral Bells (Heuchera) plant that
require partial sun are planted. Plants that are Purple Cornflower undergo photosynthesis at
12 p.m. when the optimal amount of sunlight is obtained

In the figure above, ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = √37𝑥, 2𝑇𝑄

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗, 2𝑃𝑇
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑇𝑅 = 3 𝑥 + 3 𝑦. Express in

terms of x and y.

1. Find QR where sunlight reaches until the green house’s base so that the plants can undergo
process called photosynthesis to produce oxygen.

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑆𝑄 = -4y + √37𝑥 , we need to find ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑄𝑆. ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑆𝑄is the opposite direction of ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑆𝑄. So, ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑄𝑆 = 4y - √37𝑥 because
change in direction causes the positive and negative symbol to change too.

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗= 4y - √37𝑥

𝑆𝑄 = -4y + √37𝑥 becomes 𝑄𝑆

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑄𝑅 = (4y - √37𝑥) + √37𝑥

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑄𝑅 = (4y - √37𝑥 + √37𝑥), −√37𝑥 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑙 √37𝑥)

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = (4y) km.

2. At 10 am the sun would not have risen until the top, so find PR where sunlight partially
covers the green house and mostly solar panel on top the green house absorb and stores
sunlight’s energy.

The equation to find PR

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑃𝑅 𝑃𝑄 + ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑄𝑅

Then we need to find ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

𝑃𝑄

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑃𝑇
𝑃𝑄 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗. Since the information gives says that SR = √37𝑥 and 2𝑇𝑄
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗+ 𝑇𝑄 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗= 𝑆𝑇
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗.

𝑇𝑄 = − 3 𝑦 + 𝑥

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ using the information 2𝑃𝑇

Then we can find 𝑃𝑇 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑇𝑅
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑃𝑇 = 𝑇𝑅

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ into the equation 𝑃𝑇

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗and 𝑇𝑄
Now we can substitute the values of 𝑃𝑇 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ to find 𝑃𝑄
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ + 𝑇𝑄 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ 𝑃𝑇 + ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑃𝑄 = ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ 𝑇𝑄

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑃𝑄 = (3 𝑥 + 𝑦) + (− 3 𝑦 + 𝑥), 3 𝑦 would cancel out − 3 𝑦

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑃𝑄 = 3 𝑥 + 𝑥

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 1 𝑥 (1 +

Final step is to find out the PR since we got value for PQ and QR

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ + 𝑄𝑅
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗= 𝑃𝑄
𝑃𝑅 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗= 1 𝑥 (1 +
