Lesson Plan

Identify velocity, force, and displacement as vector quantities and represent them using directed line segments or component form.

Set up vector diagrams to model real-world situations involving velocity (boat/plane in a current/wind).

Find the resultant vector by combining two vectors head-to-tail and computing its magnitude using the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometry.

Distinguish displacement (vector) from total distance (scalar) in multi-leg journeys.
