General Physics LP 3 - VECTOR and SCALAR QUANTITIES
General Physics LP 3 - VECTOR and SCALAR QUANTITIES
REVIEW: Before we start our lesson, let’s study first scalar quantity and vector
quantity. Try answering the activity below.
Directions: Complete the column by choosing the appropriate value of each given quantity. Use
separate sheet for your answer.
IMMERSE:
A. Directions: Find the Resultant Vector, use a ruler to measure the magnitude of each vector to be
added. (Use a separate sheet for your answer)
SYNTHESIZE:
A. Directions: Complete the table below to show the difference/s between scalar and vector
quantities.
Quantities Definitions Examples
Scalar Quantity
Vector Quantity
B. Directions: Using graphical method (head-to-tail), determine the resultant vector. Make your own
scale to stablish the length of the magnitude.
1. You jog 3.0km East, then 2.0km South. (a) What is your resultant vector? What is your final
direction?
2. A driver got lost on his way going to his friend’s house. He travelled 12.0km West, 5.0km North,
12km East, and 5.0km South. (a) What is his total distance travelled? (B) How about his total
displacement?
EVALUATE:
A. Directions: Identify whether the following is a scalar quantity or vector quantity. Write S if it is
scalar or V if it is vector. (Use separate sheet for your answer.)
1. 800 J of work 6. 350 mL
2. 120minutes 7. 15km to the left
3. 200 m 8. 45kg
4. 9.8 m/s2 along the negative y-axis 9. 150oF
5. 50 kg.m/ss momentum towards South 10. 40m going up the stairs
B. Directions: Calculate the resultant vector of the following using Pythagorean theorem and
graphical method.
1. 5m North and 4 m East
2. 3m/s South and 4m/s West
PLUS:
Directions: Calculating the resultant magnitude. Show also the vector addition and the resultant.
Pythagorean Theorem can be used in this problem.
