VECTOR ADDITION USING LAWS OF SINE AND COSINE
1. What is the device use to
measure the angle?
PROTACTOR
2. Are Vectors can be
measured through the
laws of sine and cosine?
• Yes, it can be measured
through the component
method using the laws
of sine and cosine.
3. OBJECTIVES:
1. Explain vector addition using Laws of sine and cosine.
2. Graph and the Compute the Resolution of Vectors.
3. Show honesty and accuracy in solving the problem.
4. Presentation of Sample Problem.
• Juan walks 5.0 m, 37° north of
west. Find the (a) horizontal and
(b) vertical components of his
displacement.
5. Given:
V= 5.0 m, 37° north of west
Formula:
Horizontal Component:
Vx=VcosꝊ
Vertical Component:
Vy=VsinꝊ
8. • What is Resolution?
• The process of splitting the vector into its
components.
9. • Rule
• The signs of the horizontal
and vertical components of
the given vector must also
taken into consideration,
depending on the quadrant
where the vector lies.
10. What is horizontal component?
• The component along x-axis.
What is vertical component?
• The component along y-axis.
11. Group Activity
Group 1: Sally runs 3km, 40° North of east, find
the horizontal and vertical components of
the displacements.
Group 2: Gary walks 4km, 47° South of east.
What is his horizontal and vertical
component?
Group 3: Abby jogs at 4km, south. What is her
horizontal and vertical components/
Group 4: Luc give his dog a walk for 5 km, 50°
South of west. What is he and his dog
horizontal and vertical component?
