Physics Lesson: Vector Addition (Graphically) for high school

[pinksugar1721]

cant express enough gratitude towards you guys. you must take your job seriously to take time to put these videos up... thank you

[cookiekekee]

Lol.... I have Mr Cope...........

[ms962000]

@cookiekekee so do I..

[lagdance]

wow ....this is so easy now

[ahmad9822]

why arent you my teacher!!!!!

[PhysicsEH]

@ahmad9822 Thanks for the comment, Glad to help.

[TehFlyingGerman]

@PhysicsEH I'm only watching these because i read one of Michio Kaku's books and man, you guys make physics fun (: who knows maybe your videos will help me someday solve the theory of everything.

[ahmad9822]

why arent you my teacher!!!!!

[Handlez362]

Thanks for this I am taking up physics in college didn't know I would need it however I got these videos so hopefully I can be sharper than everyone else thanks to this.

[PhysicsEH]

@Handlez362 Thanks for taking the time to let us know you found the videos helpful. Best of luck at college.

[9797alexandra]

new videos please!

[hunnybunnygirly]

hi you are such a great teacher and explain everything very well. thanks

[PhysicsEH]

@hunnybunnygirly Thanks for the kind words. Glad to help.

[EBbugattiveyron101]

Thank-You! My teacher isn't very clear and this really cleared things up a little!

[PhysicsEH]

@EBbugattiveyron101 Glad to help. Good luck in your course.

[familyguy958]

this guy is much better than my teacher at teaching this. this definitely clears stuff up for my test tomorrow. thanks!

[PhysicsEH]

@familyguy958 Thanks. Glad to help. Good luck on your test.

[waqy01]

im from the UK. and tbh. you should be my teacher ;). great explanation lad

[PhysicsEH]

@waqy01 Hi. Glad to help. Thanks for letting usknow that it helped you.

[Str33tFiGhTeR1]

YOU BEASTLY HUNK!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

[PhysicsEH]

@Str33tFiGhTeR1 Hey, Thanks for the enthusiastic comments, Glad to help.

[MrSpicytim]

I didn't quite understand this when my teacher taught me but you sir are the man! Thank you so much!

[PhysicsEH]

@MrSpicytim Thanks for the comment. We love to hear that it helped.

[trousien]

this is the old school way on how to figure out R

[PhysicsEH]

@trousien Hi. We find that our students understand vectors better when they first learn to add them graphically. We use the algebraic method which is much better, once they understand vectors. I hope you still found the video useful. Thanks.

[CalebMWunderrand]

What does adding velocity vectors physically correspond to?

Nothing.

The resultant is meaningless in this example!

[PhysicsEH]

@CalebMWunderrand In this example we’re just looking at how to add vectors. They are used to find the result of things such as displacement of an object or the result of a number of forces on an object. They are also used to calculate relative velocity problems and solve engineering problems. Vectors have many applications but are all added the same way so we teach it as a separate topic and then apply it to problems. Check out the algebraic method in our other "vector videos". Thanks

@SophieInHerOwnWorld it was 8 m/s {SOUTH 20 degrees WEST}.......therefore he looked at the bottom (south) then moved to the west direction to 20 degrees.

this was kinda lame

[bellanei]

Thank you

[enivynnej]

i can't see the black board ! it's too far !

[lazzysouljaboy]

haha im 13 and i learned a bit haha this is cool

[willzurmacht]

Thank goodness I found this on youtube, I'm I have to make my assignment about finding the vector sum and I was absent during the lecture. Thanks very much :)

[xexejesse]

this is awesome...

[PhysicsEH]

Glad to help. We will try and make more.

Thanks

[glitchtoreality]

This video helped me out alot. Thank you very much. By the way I'm on a friends account and he himself doesn't like physics sad to say.

[PhysicsEH]

Thanks! We are going to try and keep posting more as time permits.

[PhysicsEH]

Hi. Thanks for the input. We will be making one that shows how to add vectors using a mathematical method.

[ChamchaVideo]

I think it is more appropriate to use mathematical solution to add vectors. but good diagram.
