Willy the great white shark swims in the ocean hunting for his favorite meal, seals! He swims 200m N, 150m E, 100m S, 500m W, 100m S, 200m E, 150m N over the course of 8 hours. Make a sketch of the journey and determine the following: 1. What was Willy's total distance in meters traveled at the end of the trip? 2. What was Willy's total displacement in meters (include direction!!)? Draw the vectors!!! 3. What was Willy's average Speed in m/s? 4. What was Willy's average Velocity in m/s?

Adding Vectors Practice

Solve the following vector problems by doing the following:
1- SKETCH THE VECTORS OUT AS MUCH TO SCALE AS POSSIBLE
2- Make an X and Y chart to organize the vectors. Make all vectors that go UP or to the RIGHT POSITIVE. Make all
the vectors that go DOWN or to the LEFT NEGATIVE!
3- Derive TWO final vectors from your chart: One Horizontal 'X' vector and One vertical 'Y' vector.
4- Solve for a Resultant!!!
5- Remember that DISTANCE is used to determine SPEED. It is all the vectors added together!!
6- Remember that DISPLACEMENT is used to determine VELOCITY. It is your RESULTANT vector!!!
