Description
The only set of vector problems (with samples and detailed keys) you'll ever need for your High School Physics course! Covers all the requisite topics students need for success in the topic of vectors. Designed for alignment with the NYS Regents Physics curriculum and test. Also serves as an excellent resource pack for AP Physics 1/2 and SAT Physics exams.
Contains over 20 sample questions and 125 in-pack questions (many with multiple sections) that cover every topic in basic vector math, including helping students learn how to accurately use a protractor to measure angles and headings!
Designed to be used before tackling in-depth ideas about forces and motion. The concept of equilibrium can be broached without talking about acceleration, and the only motion equation used is "v = d/t"! Help your students to learn the underlying math before teaching them about the nuances of kinematics and dynamics! (They can also be worked into motion curriculum to teach concepts in stages.)
Includes sample problems so you can guide your students through the activities, establish best practices and standards and best prepare them for success!
Field-tested questions refined over years with over 1,500 students having attempted the majority of questions contained in the problem pack. These questions get maximum results with minimum time for both student and teacher!
Topics Covered:
- Measuring magnitude and direction from scale diagrams
- Constructing resultants using tip-to-tail method
- Constructing resultants using parallelogram method
- Constructing equilibrants
- Using trigonometry to calculate the magnitude of the resultants of perpendicular vectors
- Using trigonometry to calculate the magnitude of the perpendicular components of a vector
- Using compass and xy-axis angle coordinates to determine direction of vectors
- Graphically determining resultants using a fixed coordinate system
- Mathematically determining resultants of multiple vectors
Notes:
- Sample problems included (with key)
- 'Component sheet' attached for mathematical solutions
- Extra blank sheet of graph paper included
- Metric ruler and protractor required for graphical problems
- Detailed answer key included
- Sample solution for some mini-activities
- Activity comes in PDF format, ensuring for accurate reprints
