This section introduces the fundamental language of vectors in physics. It highlights the difference between scalars and vectors and explains vector addition, subtraction, and decomposition into components. By mastering these concepts, students can accurately represent and compute physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction, such as displacement and force. Additionally, converting angles between degrees and radians is essential for proper use of trigonometric functions in these calculations.

While driving a car at $90 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$, how far do you move while your cyes shut for $0.50 \mathrm{~s}$ during a hard sneeze?
Compute your averagc velocity in the following two cascs: (a) You walk $73.2 \mathrm{~m}$ at a speed of $1.22 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and then run $73.2 \mathrm{~m}$ at a speed of $3.05 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ along a straight track. (b) You walk for $1.00 \mathrm{~min}$ at a speed of $1.22 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and then run for $1.00 \mathrm{~min}$ at $3.05 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ along a straight track. (c) Graph $x$ versus $t$ for both cases and indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.
An automobile travels on a straight road for $40 \mathrm{~km}$ at $30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. It then continues in the same direction for another $40 \mathrm{~km}$ at $60 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. (a) What is the average velocity of the car during the full $80 \mathrm{~km}$ trip? (Assume that it moves in the positive $x$ dircetion. $t$ and indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.
A car moves uphill at $40 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ and then back downhill at $60 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. What is the average speed for the round trip?
The position of an object moving along an $x$ axis is given by $x=3 t-4 t^{2}+t^{3},$ where $x$ is in meters and $t$ in seconds. Find the position of the object at the following values of $t:$ (a) $1 \mathrm{~s}$. (b) $2 \mathrm{~s}$. (c) $3 \mathrm{~s}$, and (d) $4 \mathrm{~s}$. (c) What is the object's dicplacement hetween $t=0$ and $t=4 \mathrm{~s} ?$ (f) What is its average velocity for the time interval from $t=2 \mathrm{~s}$ to $t=4 \mathrm{~s} ?$ (g) Graph $x$ versus $t$ for $0 \leq t \leq 4 \mathrm{~s}$ and indicate how the answer for (f) can be found on the graph.
