Lesson: Scale Diagrams Physics • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to use scale diagrams to represent the resultants of combined vector quantities and the components of vectors.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

appreciate that vectors can represent forces, velocities, accelerations, etc.,
use scale diagrams to identify and measure perpendicular components of a vector,
use scale diagrams to identify and measure the resultant of two vectors,
use scale diagrams to identify and measure the angle between a vector and one of its perpendicular components.
