Homework: Projectile Motion: Read through pg 58-61
and take notes, especially concentrate on the
problem solving box on pg. 60. Then in your
notebook work through example 3-5 and write any
questions you have. There will be a quiz next time on
the concepts from this section and vectors.

Explain when car A’s velocity is not the same as
car B if they both are going 40 km/hr.
Velocity is a vector quantity, with a magnitude and direction. If two vectors have different directions,
they cannot be equal. Therefore if one was going east and the other North t hey would not be equal.
Is the resultant vector necessarily greater
than the V1 or V2? Explain why or why
not.
V is the magnitude of the vector it is not necessarily larger
than the magnitudes of V1 and V2. For instance, if V1 and
V2 have the same magnitude and are in opposite directions,
then V is zero. The magnitude of the sum is determined by
the angle between the two contributing vectors.
