Chap 3/4

Question 1

Vector

Answer 1

Asks for how far something is and how to get there = displacement
Ex: 3 miles East

Question 2

Displacement (chapter 3/4)

Answer 2

Straight line distance between a and b and direction = angle

Question 3

Magnitude of displacement

Answer 3

Is just asking for the distance

Can be solved by using the Pythagorean theorem

Question 4

Scalar

Answer 4

A number for how far something is or how much it weighs, etc
Ex: 500 grams in a water bottle
Distance

Question 5

If you found the magnitude of displacement, how do you find just the displacement

Answer 5

Well since you have the Amt of straight line distance
You need to find the direction
You can do that by using the calculator
2nd tan

Question 6

Velocity
Associated with
Vector or Scalar? Why?

Answer 6

Velocity - how fast and which way
ex: 65 mph, south
Associated with displacement
Vector because it’s not only just a number but also has direction

Question 7

Speed
Associated with
Scalar or Vector, why?

Answer 7

How fast ex: 55 mph
Associated with distance
Scalar because it’s just a number

Question 8

Acceleration:

Answer 8

Change in speed

Question 9

+ & -

Answer 9

How we distinguish brown speeding up and speeding down
+ = up
- = down

Question 10

Acceleration unit

What does it mean

Answer 10

m/s^2

Meters over seconds squared
