Vectors – addition 2

Addition of more complex system of forces.

Motivation phase
What do you see?

Examine the vectors in the picture. Notice how their magnitudes and directions are different. Some of the vectors have the same direction, and we say they lie on parallel lines. Some vectors have different directions, and their lines are not parallel. We have learned how to add vectors that have the same direction, and in this digital learning path, we will learn how to add vectors that have different directions.

Presentation

In the presentation it is explained how to add add vectors that have different directions.

Information phase
Pay attention

Pay attention to the way vectors are added and what the addition of vectors depends on.

Consolidation phase
Watch the video

In the video, several examples of adding vectors with different directions are shown. Carefully watch the video, and finally, solve the example problem from the video that you like the most in your notebook.
