1 3B Quiz Review Sections and Key Facts To add vectors, place the tail of one vector (the side without the arrow) at the head of the other vector (the side with the arrow). Draw the vector sum from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector. To subtract vectors, rewrite the difference x y as x + ( y). Remember y is the same as y except that it points in the opposite direction (the arrow is on the other end). Add x and y using the head to tail addition method. To multiply a vector a by a constant (a number), means to scale the vector, making it bigger or smaller. o Multiplying by a positive constant does not change the direction of the vector o Multiplying by a negative constant will reverse the direction of the vector (arrow is on the other end) A vector has a horizontal and a vertical component. Use right triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA) to calculate the components. o o We can find the components of a sum or difference vector by adding or subtracting the components of the original two vectors. When we multiply a vector by a constant, the resulting vector s components are also multiplied by the constant. Make sure your homework is up-to-date: #1-30 in your workbook should be done.

6 c. Find the horizontal and vertical components of a c d. Find the horizontal and vertical components of 4 b 7. a. A disabled ship is drifting at sea. First, the wind blows the ship 4 miles at angle 30 south of true east. Then the ship hits a current which carries it 7.5 miles at an angle 50 north of true east. How far has the ship traveled horizontally? Vertically? b. What is the length and direction for the vector that represents the ship s total change in position? 6
