Scalars and vectors Measurement of length and time
Description
Play with the vector sum Model. The simulation randomly generates
different vector A and B every time the reset is clicked. You can drag
the vector midpoint to re-position drag the vector head to re-size There
are also 3 examples of how this simulation can be used by Teacher Mr. Ezzy
Chan. There are also 3 components representation to connect with the
related simulation
on components of a vector.
Challenge:
Take an example from your usual word problem and take a picture of it and
try to use the simulation to represent the word problem. After you are
done, the simulation should be able to calculate as well as draw the
resultant vector. send your completed picture to weelookang@gmail.com to
be included as an example in this simulation-model!
Sample Learning Goals
(f) add two vectors to determine a resultant by a graphical method (b)
solve problems for a static point mass under the action of 3 forces for
2-dimensional cases (a graphical method would suffice)
