Large Scale Vector Diagram

This video tutorial lesson discusses the method of drawing a vector to scale with the indicated magnitude and direction. It also demonstrates how to determine the magnitude and direction of a vector in a scaled vector diagram.

Scale Conversion The indicated scale must be used to convert the measured length of a vector on a diagram to actual real-world values for the vector's magnitude.

Lesson Explainer Scale Diagrams Physics First Year of Secondary School In this explainer, we will learn how to use scale diagrams to represent the resultants of combined vector quantities and the components of vectors. Imagine a pilot who wants to fly due north, despite taking off in a crosswind that blows steadily to the west.

A scale drawing of two vector additions. The magnitude of resultant vector R is found using a rule and its direction is found using a protractor Note that with scale drawings, a scale may be given for the diagram such as 1 cm 1 km since only limited lengths can be measured using a ruler The final answer is always converted back to the units needed in the diagram Eg. For a scale of 1 cm 2

In this GCSE Physics video, we explain how to create a scale vector diagram to represent forces acting on an object, using arrows where the length corresponds to the force's magnitude. It

Learn about vector diagrams for your GCSE Physics exam. This revision note covers adding vectors together and resolving forces using scale drawings.

In order to draw a vector accurately we must represent its magnitude properly and include a reference direction in the diagram. A scale allows us to translate the length of the arrow into the vector's magnitude.

The Physics Classroom explains how to use a vector diagram and a scale to determine the magnitude and direction of a vector AND how to draw a scaled vector diagram when given the magnitude and direction of a vector.

A scale diagram is a method used to add vectors by drawing them as arrows whose length and direction are accurately drawn to represent the magnitude and direction of the vector.
