Physics 30 - March 5 & March 6

Yesterday, we learned how to do a relative motion problem.  This type of problem involves adding vectors together.  Afterwards, we looked at how to work with non-collinear vectors. We started Example 5 by solving a vector addition problem with scale diagrams.  Then today we solved the exact same problem using vector resolution.  This technique is a little more abstract but more accurate and precise.  Students then worked through Example 6 by themselves.  This was a similar problem that involved one more vector.  Afterwards, there was some time to work on Assignment 2.3.  This will be taken up on Tuesday next week.  Reminder that we have our unit 1 exam on Monday.
