Walker Robin Marcus CP_SE_C4_TP.indd 1 Brin A. Keller Arthur F. Coxford 12/16/13 12:24 PM U N I T 2 Vectors and Motion M otion is a pervasive aspect of our lives. You walk and travel by bike, car, bus, subway, or perhaps even by boat from one location to another. You watch the paths of balls thrown or hit in the air and of space shuttles launched into orbit. Each of these motions involves both direction and distance. Vectors provide a powerful way for mathematically representing and analyzing motion. In this unit, you will learn how to use vectors and vector operations to solve problems about navigation and force. You will extend and further connect your understanding of geometry, trigonometry, and algebra to establish properties of vector operations. You will also create and use parametric equations to model linear and nonlinear motion. The key ideas will be developed through work on problems in three lessons. 101_CP4_SE_U2_UO_665790.indd 101 L ES SO N S ©Royalty-Free/Corbis 1 Modeling Linear Motion Develop skill in using vectors, equality of vectors, scalar multiplication, vector sums, and component analysis to model and analyze situations involving magnitude and direction. 2 Vectors and Parametric Equations 3 Modeling Nonlinear Motion Use parametric equations to model nonlinear motion, Represent and analyze including the motion of vectors and vector operations projectiles and circular and using coordinates.

Vectors are useful in situations that involve magnitude (such as distance) and direction. These are important descriptors of motion. The simplest motion is linear—movement along a straight line. Linear motion is used to plan and guide hiking routes and courses of boats and ships. Think about how you might describe or represent a planned route on a map. Also think about conditions that might affect a planned route and how you might incorporate that information in the planning process. Getty Images/Digital Vision Each day you confront motion in nearly everything you do. You may walk, ride a bicycle, or ride in a car or bus to school. You may take a subway train to meet friends at a shopping mall. You see aircraft fly overhead and you see the position of the Sun in the sky move, from morning when it rises in the east to evening when it sets in the west. You might run in a race or throw, kick, or hit a ball. 102 UNIT 2 Vectors and Motion 102_110_CP4_SE_U2_L1_665790.indd 102 11/28/13 4:08 PM THINK ABOUT THIS SITUATION Suppose you wanted to map out a route that involved sailing 3 km west from Bayview Harbor to Presque Island, then 6 km south to Rudy Point, and then 5 km southeast to Pleasant Bay. a How could you represent the planned route geometrically? b How could you represent a direct sailing route from Bayview Harbor to Pleasant Bay? c How could you estimate the length of the route in Part b? How would you describe its direction? d How would a northeast water current affect the path along which you would steer the boat to maintain the route in Part b? In this lesson, you will learn how to represent vectors geometrically, how to scale vectors, and how to combine vectors by addition in the context of solving applied problems. INVESTIGATION 1 Navigation: What Direction and How Far? Vectors and vector operations are used extensively in navigation on water and in the air. As you work on the problems of this investigation, look for answers to these questions: How can vectors be represented geometrically with directed line segments? How can vectors and scalar multiples of vectors be used to model navigation routes? Charting a Boat’s Course Imagine that you are navigating a boat along the small portion of the Massachusetts coast shown in the nautical chart at the right. Note that within the chart itself, there are several aids to navigation such as buoys, landmarks, and scales. The buoys are painted red or green and may have a red or green flashing light. A circle (on land) with a dot at its center indicates an easily recognized landmark such as a stone tower or a tank. 01' 72° 00' SG “1A” 59' 58' 57' 56' 55' Oak Island Sunken Ledge 03' 5 nm 02' 4 nm 01' 3 nm 00' 2 nm 59' 1 nm STK Hog Island C“1” Fl R 4 sec “2” Tank Bell “3” Fl G 4 sec “6” Fl R 4 sec 42° 00' Cupola “SH” Fl 6 sec GONG SM “2” Fl R 2.5 sec Priv Maint D Stone Harbor Launch SG “3” Center Great Point “GP” Fl G 2.5 sec Bell Stone Tower 41° 58' 71° 55' 0 nm Adapted from Frank J.

At the right of the chart is a nautical mile (nm) scale. Use this scale to find the distance from the “SH” buoy to the “GP” buoy. Measure between the centers of the circles that mark the buoys. b. There are other scales at the top and along the right edge of the chart. What do you think these scales represent? Share your ideas with classmates. c. What other scale on this chart can be used to measure nautical miles? What does a nautical mile represent based on this scale? Share your ideas with your classmates. d. A nautical mile is 6,076.1033 feet. How does a nautical mile compare to a statute mile (regular mile)? Coastal water nautical charts are designed so that the top is due north and the right side is due east. You can use your knowledge of directed angles measured counterclockwise from the horizontal (due east) to describe the direction of a craft. Thus, you can say due east is 0°, due north is 90°, due west is 180°, and due south is 270°. 2 The course of a boat starting at Buoy 6 and moving 30° north of east is shown in the chart below.

Draw an arrow from the “SH” buoy to the “6” buoy. What is the direction in degrees? What is the distance in nautical miles? c. What are the direction and distance of the path from the “6” buoy to the center of the mouth of the channel at Stone Harbor? d. Why are arrows particularly useful representations for nautical paths? 3 The arrows that indicate boating routes are directed line segments. They have both a magnitude (length) and a direction. Thus, an arrow is a geometric representation of a vector—a quantity with magnitude and direction. A vector with a length of 1" and direction of 45° is shown at the right. 1" 45° E a. Accurately draw arrows representing vectors with the following characteristics. i. Length: 2 nm; direction: 70° (Use your nautical ruler and a protractor.) ii. Length: 5 cm; direction: 110° iii. Magnitude: 7 cm; direction: 300° b. Draw an arrow for each vector described. State what length you chose to represent 1 knot and what length you chose to represent 1 mph. i. A boat with a speed of 2 knots (nautical miles per hour) at a direction of 180° ii. Speed of 40 mph at a direction of 240° iii. Force of a 15 mph wind blowing from the northeast c. Compare the arrows you drew in Parts a and b with your classmates. Resolve any differences. Denoting Vectors Vectors can be denoted in various ways. One way is to use italicized letters with arrows over them, such as a or v . When the initial point, or ⎯⎯⎯ can be used. tail, A and terminal point, or head, B are labeled, the notation AB head or terminal point tail or initial point B AB a A Since a vector v is determined by its magnitude r, and its direction θ, v can also be represented as a pair, [r, θ], called the polar form or polar representation of the vector. r [r, θ] θ E Lesson 1 102_110_CP4_SE_U2_L1_665790.indd 105 Modeling Linear Motion 105 12/12/13 10:41 AM 4 Since arrows representing vectors, as in Problem 3, can be drawn anywhere in a plane, it is important to know that two arrows drawn using the same scale represent equal vectors when they have the same magnitude and the same direction. Explain why the following method provides a geometric test for the equality of the vectors ⎯⎯⎯ and RS ⎯⎯⎯. PQ S Q Step 1. Connectt he heads Q and S and connect the tails P and R. ⎯⎯⎯ = RS ⎯⎯⎯. Step 2. If PQSR is a parallelogram, then PQ R P Scalar Multiples of a Vector In the problems that follow, use either a ruler, protractor and graph paper, or interactive geometry software with vector drawing and analysis capabilities. It may also be helpful to use the “Stone Harbor” custom app in CPMP-Tools. When the instructions ask you to make an “accurate drawing” or an “accurate sketch” of a vector, you can do so with geometry software or carefully draw an arrow on graph paper using a ruler and protractor to measure. If, however, the instructions are simply “sketch” or “draw” a vector, you may make a freehand sketch of an arrow that approximates the characteristics of an accurately drawn vector in order to guide your thinking. Note that “draw a vector” actually means “draw a geometric representation of the vector” (an arrow). 5 A fishing boat leaves the mouth of the Stone Harbor channel trolling on a heading due north at a speed of 1.5 knots (nautical miles per hour). a. On your copy of the nautical chart, sketch the vector v representing the distance and direction traveled from the middle of the channel opening during the first hour. c. Sketch and label a vector that locates the fishing boat at the end of 20 minutes and another that locates it at the end of 2.5 hours. d. Now sketch another vector that has the same length as 2v but is not equal to 2v , and another vector that is equal to 2 v . Compare your vectors with those of your classmates. e. In general, how would you sketch a vector that was a positive number k times a given vector? How are the lengths and directions of these two vectors related? Goodshoot - JupiterImages France/Alamy b. Use the vector v in Part a to determine the vector for a 2-hour trip at the same speed and in the same direction. Sketch this vector. Label it 2v . 106 UNIT 2 Vectors and Motion 102_110_CP4_SE_U2_L1_665790.indd 106 11/28/13 4:09 PM 6 Suppose another boat begins a trip at the same point at the mouth of the channel at Stone Harbor headed at a direction of 20° and at a speed of 2 knots. a. Sketch the vector v showing the approximate position at the end of the first hour. b. Suppose the boat returns to the harbor along the same route at the same speed. Sketch the return vector and give its magnitude and direction. c. The word “opposites” can be used to denote the vectors in Parts a and b. How is the word “opposite” descriptive of the relationship between the two vectors? d. Sketch a vector opposite to the vector v in Part a with initial point at the “3” bell. Give its magnitude and direction. When a vector a is multiplied by a real number k, the number is called a scalar and the product, ka , is a scalar multiple of a . (In a similar ⎯⎯⎯ is a scalar multiple of manner, kAB ⎯⎯⎯.) When k > 0, ka the vector AB is the vector whose length is k times the length of a and has the same direction as a as shown at the right. a k a, k > 1 k a, 0 < k < 7 For vector a shown above, the opposite of vector a , denoted -a , is shown at the right. The scalar multiple ka when k < 0 is shown at the far right. a. Compare the relationship between a and ka when k > 0 to the relationship between -a and ka when k < 0. -a k a, k > 0 b. Suppose a = [10, 50°] and v = [8, 20°].

But hiking paths or the course of a ship often involve changes in direction. As you complete the problems in this investigation, look for answers to the following question: How can vectors be used to model routes when there is a change of course during the trip? 1 Vector Sums Roberta, the skipper of the fishing boat High Hopes, leaves the mouth of the Stone Harbor channel at a speed of 6 knots at 25°. She travels for 20 minutes, then turns so that she is heading in a direction of 100° at the same speed and travels for 30 minutes before deciding to drop anchor and begin fishing. a. Using the “Stone Harbor” custom app or a copy of the nautical chart, draw a vector diagram showing the paths taken and the position of the High Hopes at the end of 50 minutes. What is the magnitude of each of these two vectors? b. Suppose the fish are biting and Roberta wants to inform Clarissa, the skipper of the Salmon King, of where she is located so Clarissa can join her. Draw a vector representing the path Clarissa should take from the mouth of Stone Harbor channel directly to the High Hopes. What direction should Roberta advise her to take? How far will she need to travel? c. The vector representing the path that Clarissa should travel to the good fishing spot is called the sum or resultant of the two vectors that describe the route taken by the High Hopes. How are the initial and terminal points of the resultant vector in Part b related to the two vectors that represent the route taken by the High Hopes? d. Suppose Roberta had left the harbor at a speed of 6 knots in a direction of 100° for 30 minutes, and then turned to a direction of 25° and traveled for 20 minutes at the same speed. Draw a sketch of Roberta’s path and the resultant vector. What are the direction and the magnitude of the resultant vector? e. Now sketch two additional two-leg routes to this good fishing spot.

In each case, explain your reasoning. a. The vector sum of any two given vectors is unique. b. If a vector is the sum of two given vectors, it cannot be the sum of two other vectors. c. If v = [r, θ 1]an d w = [s, θ 2], then v +w = [r + s, θ 1 + θ 2]. 3 For the following vectors, the magnitude is in centimeters and the given angle = [4, 30°], measure is the vector’s direction: a c = [4, 350°], = [5, 70°], b = [3, 250°].

Then draw a single diagram showing how to find a + b . What shape is formed? Prove your conjecture. 5 On a sheet of plain paper or graph paper, make an accurate drawing of vector u with magnitude 4 cm and direction 200° and vector v with magnitude 5 cm and direction 70°. a. Without drawing or measuring, find the magnitude and direction of as many of the following vectors as possible. Explain your reasoning in each case. i. 2u iii. u + v v. 3u + 3v vii. 2v + (-2u ) ii. v + u iv. 3(u + v ) vi. -2v viii. -2v + (-2u ) b. For the remaining vectors in Part a, find the magnitude and direction by measuring. Use as few drawings as possible. Look for possible connections between pairs of vectors that might reduce your work. c. What general rule is suggested by parts iv and v in Part a? Test your conjecture. d. The sum of two vectors is always a vector.

Starting at the harbor, is it possible to find another pair of vectors with directions 0° and 90° that have the same vector sum as in Part a? Explain your reasoning. 7 Now investigate further how a vector can be thought of in terms of the sum of horizontal and vertical vectors called its components. a. Suppose a vector represents a 2-nautical mile route with a direction of 78°. Use trigonometric ratios to compute the lengths of the east (0°) and north (90°) legs of a route to the same location. b. Suppose a vector v represents a 2-nm route with a direction of 125°. Make a sketch of the vector v and include the west and north vectors that would give the resultant vector v . Compute the magnitudes of the west and north vectors. c. Now think more generally. How would you compute the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the vectors described below? Compare your methods with those of your classmates and resolve any differences. i. Any 2-nm vector with a direction θ between 180° and 270° ii. Any 5-nm vector with a direction θ between 270° and 360° iii. Any 10-nm vector that points due north or due south iv.

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING Use what you have learned about adding vectors and horizontal and vertical components of a vector to compute (not measure) answers to the questions below. Check that your answers are reasonable by measuring. a. Suppose Clarissa wants to fish in the secluded bay behind Great Point, as shown in the chart. The vector [3.1 nm, 10°] represents a direct route to the bay. Since this route crosses land, Clarissa decides to head east and then due north to the fishing spot. How many nautical miles should she travel east before turning north? How far north from there is the fishing spot? b. Suppose Roberta needs to travel from her location south of Hog Island to the west side of Oak Island before nightfall. The west and north vectors for one route are shown on the chart. If Roberta decides to take a direct route (across the rocky area) rather than the west/north route, how many nautical miles can she shave off the trip?

When this is the case, the craft moves in a straight line in the direction of the force. In reality though, two (or more) forces often act simultaneously on an object. For example, currents in the ocean are forces that move the boats in the direction of the current. Sailing ships without motors use water currents to help them enter and leave port. The wind, too, is a force that affects the path that a boat or an airplane follows. A fundamental principle of physics is that the effect of two forces acting on a body is the sum of the forces. As you work on problems in this investigation, look for answers to this question: How can vectors be used to analyze the effect of two or more forces simultaneously acting on an object? 1 Suppose a boat leaves port P headed in a direction of 60° with the automatic pilot set for 10 knots. On this particular day, there is a 4-knot ocean current with a direction of 30°. The vector diagram at the right shows the effect of the current on the position of the boat at the end of one hour. 30° E a. Assuming a scale of 1 cm = 2 nm, verify the accuracy of the diagram. b.
