1. You’re a tourist in London and want to travel Westminster to Green Park. How do you get there? TFL UPDATE: Jubilee Line is Down due to engineering works. Using the tube how do you reach Green Park now?

2. Green Park (G) g v Westminster (W) Victoria (V) w Let the Jubilee line from Westminster (W) to Green Park (G) be the vector WG = g. Let the District line from Westminster (W) to Victoria (V) be the vector WV = w . Let the Victoria line from Victoria (V) to Green Park (G) be the vector VG = v. Westminster to Green park = WG = g and = w+ v Westminster to Green park = WV + VG So WG = WV + VG Then w+ v= g

3. Triangle Law of Vector Addition By the Triangle Law of Vector Addition: AB + BC = AC a + b = c Whenc = a + bthe vector c is said to be the RESULTANT of the two vectors a and b.

4. A fellow tourist in London asks you how to get from Green Park to South Kensington. How do you get there? TFL UPDATE: Piccadilly Line is shut due to broken down train. Using the tube how do you reach South Kensington now?

5. Green Park (G) k g South Ken (K) Victoria (V) v Let Green Park (G) to South Ken (K) be the vector GK = k. Let Green Park (G) to Victoria (V) be the vector GV = g . Let Victoria (V) to South Ken (K) be the vector VK = v. Green Park to South Kensington = GK = k and = g + v Green Park to South Kensington = GV + VK So GK = GV + VK Theng+ v = k

6. WHICH TWO WAYS GET YOU GET FROM BANK TO LIVERPOOL STREET?

7. Liverpool Street (L) Moorgate (M) m b l Bank (B) Let Bank (B) to Liverpool Street (L) be the vector BL = l Let Bank (B) to Moorgate (M) be the vector BM = b Let Moorgate (M) to Liverpool Street (L) be the vector MV = m So Bank to Liverpool Street = BL = l and = b+ m Bank to Liverpool Street = BM + ML So BL = BM + ML Then b+ m= l

8. AD = AC + CD AD = a + b + c AC = AB + BC AC = a + b

9. i) AB = AO + OB AB = -a + b = b - a ii) AP = ½ AB AP = ½ ( b – a) ii) OP = ½ AB + OA OP = ½ ( b – a) + a

10. 3 5 8 Suppose a = b = and –2 3 1 b a a + b = a + b The Triangle Law of Vector Addition Adding two vectors is equivalent to applying one vector followed by the other. For example, Find a + b We can represent this addition in the following diagram:

11. c a In general, if a = b = and d b a + c a + b = b + d Adding Vectors When two or more vectors are added together the result is called the resultant vector. We can add two column vectors by adding the horizontal components together and adding the vertical components together.

13. –2 4 Suppose and b = a = 3 4 –2 6 4 4 – –2 – = = 3 1 4 4 – 3 Subtracting Vectors We can subtract two column vectors by subtracting the horizontal components and subtracting the vertical components. For example, Find a – b a – b =

14. –2 4 and b = a = 3 4 b –b –b a a a – b 6 a – b = 1 Subtracting Vectors To show this subtraction in a diagram, we can think of a – b as a + (–b).
