CASE 2: However, the wind does not always blow in the direction you desire! Let's incorporate the wind vector to see how the wind affects our journey. To begin, use your RED marker to sketch your ship vector, just like you did in Part 1. Now, using your BLUE marker, add the wind vector to the end of that vector. With your BLUE marker, draw the resulting vector (by simply adding the two vectors). That's where you are when the first month ends. Now do the same for the next month and the month after that until you reach land. Remember that the wind changes, so each month you will have to add a different wind vector. The list of different winds for each month is on the following line. Month 1:3 squares south Month 2: 5 diagonal squares southeast Where will you make landfall now? Month 3: 3 diagonal squares northwest Month 4: 4.5 diagonal squares southwest How many months to reach land (only count & approximate the solid 10-square vectors!).

North America United States Cuba Canada General Physics 1 (PERFORMANCE TASK: VECTORS) NW south SW Where will you make landfall now? N $ NE SE Atlantic Ocean Europe England Portugal Spain Start! INSTRUCTIONS: Examine the different situations given below and answer the following questions briefly. Use a colored marker (pencil, pen, etc.) to sketch the required vector in the given figure above. You may print this activity in a short bond paper or just answer it directly within the document. Africa CASE 1: Your ship is capable of sailing 10 squares per month. Using your RED marker, start in Spain and go west, drawing one vector for each month of travel. In which country will you set foot? How many months (how many 10-square vectors) will it take to reach land? CASE 2: However, the wind does not always blow in the direction you desire!
