vectors

We are starting the Vectors unit. To solve these problems we can use Euklid or you can use the cosine laws and trigonometry rules. Euklid can be downloaded at home too.

VECTOR: anything with both magnitude and direction. How much? And which way?
SCALAR:representable by position on a scale or line; having only magnitude
MAGNITUDE:size; extent; dimensions

REMINDER: Bring graph paper, ruler, and protractor

There are three methods:
1. degree? direction? of direction?
2.start direction? degrees? which way direction?
3. measures <360 angles using N=0, and clockwise so bearing is 340

Exercise 1 and 2 is for homework in our booklets
