Solving Velocity Vector Problems Public Class

About the Class

This is a 60-minute discussion about the techniques used in finding the magnitude and direction (angle) of the Resultant Velocity of vector quantities forming right angles. The methods used are the Parallelogram Method and the Basic Trigonometric Ratios (SOHCAHTOA) which could then be verified using the Pythagorean Theorem. The class also discusses further about the Sine Law and Cosine Law which are used in solving vector quantities which are not forming right angles. The class contains the following:

• Introduction
• The Basic Trigonometric Ratios
• The Parallelogram Method
• The Pythagorean Theorem
• Problem Sets
• The Sine Law and the Cosine Law
• Problem Sets
• Summary
• Evaluation/Assignment
