PHYSICAL QUANTITIESAny number that is used to describe a physical

phenomenon quantitatively using a standard measurable

unit or units.

Example :

Length3 m (meters)

Mass80 kg (kilograms)

Time3600 seconds

Weight100 N (Newtons)



3/40

SCALAR QUANTITIES

Quantities that are described by only a single number which is its

Magnitude. Magnitudejust tells how much or the size of the

quantity theres present.

Ex. 10 km, 100 km/hr

Mass, Volume and Time are scalars



4/40

VECTOR QUANTITIES

Quantities that are described by both magnitudeand the

directionin space.

Ex. 10 km to the left, 100 km per hour, eastward

Force , Velocity and Acceleration are vectors

VECTOR RESOLUTION



11/40

VECTOR RESOLUTION

A process of combining two or more vectors acting at the

same point on an object to determine a single equivalent

vector known as the Resultant vector.

The resultant has the same effect as the multiple vectors

that originally acts on the object. The resultant vector is

also known as the Net vector.



12/40

VECTOR RESOLUTIONResultant Can be determined in two ways :

2. Analytical Methods

1. Graphical Methods

These involve plotting and drawing the vectors (using a

convenient scale) and directly measuring the resultant

from these vectors.

These involve no scaled drawings. These are purelycomputation that mostly involves trigonometry.

Provides the most accurate value for the resultant.

1. Polygon Method

Graphical Methods

AB C

BC

R

The resultant is determined by laying the vectors tail to head in series. Once the last vector is

in placed, the resultant is drawn from the tail of the origin vector up to the tip of the last

vector.

R

The commutative property applies here, you can start

at any vector and the resultant is always going to be

the samePrepared by : Engr. M.E. Albalate 7/20/2013

2. Parallelogram Method

AB C

A

BC

R

Start with a pair of vectors drawn from the same origin. Make a parallelogram by projection.

The diagonal will be the resultant of the two vectors. If you have more than two given

vectors, pair the earlier resultant with the next given vector, and so on. The very last diagonal

will be the final resultant.

2. Component Method : Sign Convention

The usual vector sign convention

follows the Cartesian coordinatesystem.

x component values:

to the right(or East) arepositive

to the left ( or West) are negative

y component values:

going up(or North) arepositive

going down (or South) are negative.

Standard Sign Convention

IfX is + , it is going to the right or east

IfX is , it is going to the left or west

IfY is + , it is going upward or north

IfY is , it is going downward or south


Note : The angle computed here is ALWAYS measured from the

horizontal axis. ALWAYS between zero to 90. Refer to the sign

convention above for the correct bearing

APPLICATION OF VECTOR RESOLUTION :

NAVIGATION via Displacement

Displacement(s): A vector quantity that is the change in

position of an object.

Distance is the scalar counter part of displacement. It may

vary because there is a multiple (if not infinite) number of

ways to get from one point to another.

The magnitude of the displacement is considered as

a distance, in fact it is the shortest possible value for

distance.

s This reads as displacement vector SPrepared by : Engr. M.E. Albalate 7/20/2013

NAVIGATION via Displacement1. Ace City lies 36.80 km, 40.4West of North of Blues City. A bus, beginning

at Chapel City travels 54.50 km at 37.6North of West to reach Ace City. How

far and in what direction is Blues City to Chapel City?

NAVIGATION via Displacement2. An escaped convict runs 1.70 km due east of the prison. He then runs 7.40

km due north to a friend's house. A few hours later, he left his friends house,

moving 4.35 km due west to hide in an abandoned warehouse. Determine his

displacement from the warehouse to the prison.

RELATIVE VELOCITY



27/40

Double Subscript Notation:

vAC This reads as velocity of objectArelative to object C

Given two objects with different relative velocities :

If we want to know the relative velocity ofAwith

respect to C, then we get the resultant of these two :

vBC

This reads as velocity of object Brelative to object C

vAC= vAB+ vBC

vAB This reads as velocity of objectArelative to object B

RELATIVE VELOCITY2. A boat is capable of making 9kph in still water is used to cross a river flowing at a

speed of 4kph.

a) At what angle () should the boat be directed so that the motion will be straight

across the river?

b) What is the resultant speed relative to the shore (earth)?

UNIT VECTORS

A unit vector is avector whose magnitude is equal to oneand dimensionless. They are used to specify a determined

direction or simply pointer vectors.

A unit vector is sometimes denoted by replacing the arrow on a vector

with a "^" or just adding a "^" on a boldfaced character .
