addition of vectors
A vector is an arrow whose length represents the magnitude of a quantity and whose direction represents the direction of the quantity. Vectors are useful in combining velocities that are not parallel. The sum of two or more component vectors is called a resultant.When the vectors are not at right angles to each other, the resultant is found by constructing a parallelogram. The parallelogram is constructed with the two vectors as sides. The resultant of the parallelogram is its diagonal. Equilibrant vector on the other hand, is a single vector that would balance the original vectors taken together. An experiment was conducted to determine the difference between using graphical, analytical and experimental method in getting the resultant. A force table, weight holders, a set of slotted masses (200g and 249g), ruler, protractor, spring scale and triple beam ba
On the other hand, the computed values of the acceleration were also irregular. Acceleration at the distance of 10 cm and 40 cm were found to be equal. Acceleration would not change even if the group used a larger marble. It would make almost no difference in the values acquired. The velocity computed by using tangent lines was found to be higher than the average velocity. The results were also found to have irregular values. It is noticed that after covering the distance of 40 cm, the velocity went down. The velocity between the distance of 40 cm and 70 cm were found to be equal. The velocity determined by drawing tangent lines were plotted against time on a graph. Tangent lines were again drawn to determine the slope which will correspond to the acceleration on that time.
