1.7 - Vector Operations

Students will be able to:

Perform scalar-vector multiplication, including negative numbers and draw the resultant vector.
Utilize scalar-vector multiplication and other vector operations to solve problems involving vectors in two dimensional motion scenarios.

Watch the lecture video and copy it into your notes.
(Optional): Watch the FlippingPhysics video on how to use cardinal directions.

How to Use Cardinal Directions - FlippingPhysics

1.7 Lecture Video

NOTE: I make a calculation error in this one. When I'm doing the last example on the back, at around 22:13, I mistakenly write that four squared was equal to nine, which it obviously isn't.

The procedure I follow is correct, but the numbers would be off for any point past that. Please adjust your resultant vector magnitude and direction accordingly (little extra practice for ya ;) )

WOOF: I also make the mistake TWICE of drawing an arrow toward the EAST when it should be toward the WEST. Not sure what was wrong with me when I recorded this. Apologies.
