MODULE 2:
SCALARS AND VECTORS

OBJECTIVES:
✘ 1. Differentiate vector from scalar quantities.
✘ 2. Perform addition of vectors.
✘ 3. Rewrite a vector in component form.
✘ 4. Calculate the directions and magnitude of
vectors.
✘ 5. Express a vector in terms of unit vectors.

SCALAR AND VECTOR QUANTITIES
✘ Scalar Quantities - are quantities which are completely
described by their magnitude (numerical value consisting of
a number and its unit).

✘ Vector Quantities - are quantities which are completely


described by their magnitude and direction.

✘ A vector quantity is represented by an arrow whose parts


5
denote some aspects of the quantity.

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF VECTORS
✘ CASE 1: A AND B ARE IN THE SAME DIRECTION
The sum of two vectors in the same direction is the
length of the two vectors placed one after another.

A+B=B+A
9
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF VECTORS
✘ CASE 2: A AND B ARE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
The algebraic sum of two vectors in opposite directions
is the difference of the lengths of the given vectors and in the
direction of the one with greater magnitude.

A – B = -B + A
10
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF VECTORS
✘ CASE 3: VECTORS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS
For these vectors, the sum can be obtained by two methods:
namely, the Triangle Method and the Parallelogram Method.
✘ Triangle Method - the given vectors are drawn consecutively to form
two sides of a triangle. The third side is the sum of the two vectors.

✘ Parallelogram Method - the given vectors are drawn from the same
point. Draw a parallelogram with these two vectors as sides. The diagonal
of the parallelogram from the same point of origin is the sum of the
vectors.

SAMPLE PROBLEM/S
(PARALLELOGRAM METHOD)
1. Force is a vector quantity that uses newton (N) as the unit. Suppose a
force of F1 = 10N is applied horizontally to a block. Also, a second force F2
= 5N is applied at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Determine the
resultant force that acts on the block.
GIVEN: F1 = 10N ; F2 = 5N
REQUIRED: RESULTANT VECTOR = ?
EQUATION: RV = A + B
SOLUTION: ANSWER: 15 N
RV = A + B = 10N + 5N = 15N

EVALUATION - PT#3 (QUIZ)
DIRECTIONS: Illustrate and solve for the following vectors.
1. Mark Lee walks 500m 28° East and then turns North and walks 300m.
Find its resultant displacement. Use Triangle and Polygon Method and
GRESA. ( Scale: 100m = 1cm )
2. Hermione leaves the office, drives 26km due North, then turns onto a
street and continues in a direction 30° N of E for 38km and finally turns
onto highway due East for 40km. What is her total displacement? Use
Polygon, Analytical and GRESA Method. ( Scale: 2km = 0.5cm )

Deadline: Until the scheduled time.
