1. To reverse the direction of a vector quantity, make the sign on the vector negative AND flip
the vector direction.
Practice 1:
Consider vectorB: The ⃗ 𝑖𝑠:
negative of 𝐵
Practice 2:
Consider 2 vectors,
Practice 3:
⃗ :
Practice 4: Draw the vector addition diagram to solve for 𝐴 − 𝐵
1.2 - 2 D Acceleration 2019
Solving for ∆𝒗
⃗ in 2D with vector addition
2
1.2 - 2 D Acceleration 2019
To solve ∆𝒗
⃗ algebraically, solve by components:
2. Find ∆𝑣x and ∆𝑣y Note: You are solving for a ‘change’,
NOT a ‘sum’, therefore you must
subtract the initial vector from the
final vector, not add.
Practice 7: A car turns from a road into a parking lot and into an available parking space. The
car’s initial velocity is 4.0 m/s [E 45.0° N]. The car’s velocity just before the driver decreases
speed is 4.0 m/s [E 10.0° N]. The turn takes 3.0 s. Calculate the average acceleration of the car
during the turn. (8.0x10-1m/s2 [E63°S])
