Open Stax: Vector Addition and Subtraction: Analytical Methods

In this interactive site, students will begin to understand the rules of vector addition, subtraction, and multiplication and apply graphical methods of vector addition and subtraction to determine the displacement of moving objects.

Three levels of practice assure scholar mastery of vector addition. After inputting an incorrect answer, another problem replaces it so everyone finds success. The lesson works as one part of a series on vectors and projectiles.

In this interactive module, students will learn how to define and distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. They will assign a coordinate system for a scenario involving one-dimensional motion.

An extensive discussion of vector addition with links to interactives and exercises.

This interactive site helps students determine the appropriate number of significant figures in both addition and subtraction, as well as multiplication and division calculations. They also calculate the percent uncertainty of a...

Learn how to add vectors. Drag vectors onto a graph, change their length and angle, and sum them together. The magnitude, angle, and components of each vector can be displayed in several formats.

A lab experiment involving readily available materials. Students analyze three forces acting upon one point to determine the resultant force. Questions and accompanying answers are provided.

Map the velocity of a thrown football using physics! Learners study vector addition using a football scenario. Two vectors model the movement of the receiver and quarterback while the resulting vector describes the velocity of the...

In the following interactive students will begin to discuss the inertial frame of reference and the non-inertial frame of reference. They will also describe the effects of the Coriolis force.

In the following interactive students will begin to explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force. They will also explain and apply the work-energy theorem.
