POLAR FORM OF VECTORS:

The polar form of a vector simply lists or states the magnitude ofthe vector together with its direction with respect to a reference.

EXAMPLE: 50m/s at 20o

In print the usual symbolic notation for a vector is a capital letter inbold print. In writing the usual notation for a vector is a capitalletter with a small horizontal arrow above it.

A or A

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF VECTORS:

A vector quantity may be depicted using an arrow, a straight line witha point. The length of the arrow will be proportional to and representthe vector’s magnitude (which is always positive). The orientation ofthe arrow in space or on a coordinate grid corresponds to the vector’sdirection.

50o

This arrow represents thevelocity vector of 4 m/s at50o .

When using a calculator to calculate tan-1, add the appropriate correction angle to the result given by the calculator.

USING tan -1:

= tan-1 (Cy/Cx ) + Correction

Relative Motion:

Consider yourself to be a stationary observer. A friend of yours, Joe, is another observer but he is in motion. Lets say you measure his velocity to be the vector u.

Some object of mutual interest passes by. Both you and Joe measure its velocity. Joe measures its velocity to be v’ and you measure its velocity to be v.

These two velocities, v’ and v, are different vectors because they are measured in different coordinate frames. However, they are related by the following equation:

'v u v

EXAMPLE: A boat is to cross directly across a river. The boat is able to do 15 knots in still water and the river current is 5 knots. ( A knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, a nautical mile is 6080 ft). (a) At what angle upstream must the boat be pointed? (b) What will the boat’s speed be relative to the ground?
