Newton’s third law of motion

Page
5

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Slide 32

Vectors

Vector quantity

has magnitude and direction.

is represented by an arrow.

Example: velocity, force, acceleration

Scalar quantity

has magnitude.

Example: mass, volume, speed

Slide 33

Vectors

Resultant

The sum of two or more vectors

For vectors in the same direction, add arithetically.

For vectors in opposite directions, subtract arithetically.

Two vectors that don’t act in the same or opposite direction:

use parallelogram rule.

Two vectors at right angles to each other

use Pythagorean Theorem: R2 = V2 + H2.
