Physics Aviary: Resultant Vector

Map the velocity of a thrown football using physics! Learners study vector addition using a football scenario. Two vectors model the movement of the receiver and quarterback while the resulting vector describes the velocity of the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Determine the physical description of vector displacement additions.

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of...

This activity checks that you are able to add and subtract vectors, calculate the dot and cross product of vectors, and multiply or divide vectors by scalars.

This Java applet simulation explores vector addition of two vectors in two dimensions. Given the magnitude and direction, students must determine the vector components.

High schoolers watch a video of real-world situations regarding speed, direction, velocity, force, etc. and answer questions while viewing. They then practice drawing and using vectors to solve more real-world problems.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

This lesson entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

This resource provides a detailed explanation of a resultant, in terms of vectors. Content also includes helpful examples.

An animated illustration helps students understand that the summative result of two or more vectors can be determined by a process of vector addition.
