  1. Lesson 82 – Geometric Vectors HL Math - Santowski

  2. What is the difference between speed and velocity? => Velocity is speed combined with direction

  3. What are Vectors? • A scalar quantity is simply anything in life that can be described by just a number • e.g. the temperature, my age etc. • However, a vector is a quantity that needs a direction as well for it to make sense. • => Vectors have both magnitude (size) and direction • Examples • Velocity = speed + direction • e.g. wind velocity is 20kmh East • Displacement = distance + direction • e.g. displacement of Leeds from York is 25 miles W => Vectors are directed quantities

  4. What do they look like? Vectors can be represented as: • Straight Lines • (directed lines segments) - Column Vectors direction 3 1 Size 1 3  Vectors are pathways

  5. B u A v C D AB = u = CD = v = These are known as column vectors.

  6. What do they look like? The most common notation for vectors is threefold AB = a= a B A

  7. Position Vectors OA is the journey from the origin to the point A. It is known as the position vector written a. Is the position vector of the point b, written b. OB y = b – a where a and b are the position vectors of A and B AB A B a b o Example If P and Q have coordinates (4,8) and 2,3), respectively, find the components of PQ. x PQ = q - p

  8. Properties Vectors with the same magnitude and direction are equal B A If vectors have the same magnitude and opposite directions then: AB = a thenBA = -a

  9. Properties If different sized vectors have the same direction they are scalar multiples of each other e.g. m = kn n m m = 2n

  10. Rewriting resultants Resultant vectors can be broken down in to their component vectors e.g. a= x y a y x

  11. Resultants The resultant is a single vector which is equivalent to a set of vectors e.g. the result of adding a and b b a b c = a + b

  12. Rewriting Vectors => vectors can be rewritten in terms of other vectors b a c a+ b= c

  13. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a, b and c E D i) BA ii) CB iii) DC iv) AC v) AD C c F b a A B

  14. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a, b and c = - a = - b = - c = a + b = a + b + c E D i) BA ii) CB iii) DC iv) AC v) AD c C F b a A B

  15. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a, b and c i) ED ii) FE iii) AF iv) AE v) DA vi) BF vii) EC viii) DF E D c C F b a A B

  16. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a, b and c = a = b = c = c + b = – c – b – c = – a + c = a – c = – a – b i) ED ii) FE iii) AF iv) AE v) DA vi) BF vii) EC viii) DF E D c C F b a A B

  17. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a and b a. AP = b. AB = c. OQ = d. PO = e. PQ = f. PN = g. ON = h. AN = i. BP = j. QA = Q B N b P O a A

  18. Rewrite the following vectors in terms of a and b a. AP = b. AB = c. OQ = d. PO = e. PQ = f. PN = g. ON = h. AN = i. BP = j. QA = a b – a 2b - 2a 2b – 2a b – a a + b b 2a - b a – 2b Q B N b P O a A

  19. Vector Geometry AB = r AD = s A B Y X AY:YD = 1:2 C D DX:XB = 1:2 i) Show that YX is parallel to AC ii) What is the ratio YX:AC

  20. Solutions r AC = r + s YX = 2/3r + 1/3(r – s) DB = r - s YX = 1/3(r + s) A B Y s X C D i) AC and YX are scalar multiples => parallel ii) YX : AC = 1 : 3 i) Show that YX is parallel to AC ii) What is the ratio YX:AC

  21. Vector Geometry B Solutions X XZ = ½(q – p) AB = p BC = q - p Y AC = q A Z C => Scalar multiples (same direction) X, Y and Z are all midpoints i) Express BC in terms of p and q ii) Show that XZ is parallel to BC
