[color=003471]"An object traveling. Most likely a projectile based on the hypotenuse, speed, and the duration of the objects supposed path.”[/color] this was Ziska… a bit on the less than sane side according to many, but she was rather intelligent, collected and could learn a new skill in no time… at least that was based on what Burr had seen of her so far. He could be completely wrong, she could be hiding a bluetooth earpiece somewhere… probably her ear? But he was rather certain that she was just smart and retained information. [color=blue][i]Judging from the bags under her eyes… Ziska didn’t sleep last night…[/i] “Right you are, Ziska.”[/color]. Geoff chose to ignore the fact that students were whispering in the back of the class. An eraser lifted itself and began wiping the marks off of the board. [color=blue]“Alright, let’s break down two dimensional motion into individual vectors.”[/color] As he talked another marker began drawing a diagonal arrow pointing upward to the right in the middle of the board. [color=blue]“This is a vector. We know this because it has a magnitude, determined by the length of the stem, and a direction - it’s an arrow. We can label it as vector ‘a’”[/color] The marker drew an a with a small arrow above it next to the stem of the vector. [color=blue]“So now we have vector ‘a’ - usually representing the force that is launching the object. Let’s include vector ‘b’ which is always the factor, gravity.”[/color] The marker drew another arrow, this one’s stem began at the tip of vector ‘a’ and pointed downward, stopping when it reached a horizontal axis with the beginning of the stem on vector ‘a’. [color=blue]“After we add vector ‘b’, vector ‘c’ plays the part of the ground, or the displacement, forming a ninety degree angle with vector ‘b’.”[/color] On the board was a triangle, the first arrow was labeled ‘a’ and pointed diagonally upward to the right, the second pointed downward and was labeled ‘b’ and the third and a straight arrow between the beginning of the stem on ‘a’ and the head on ‘b’. [color=blue]“Does anyone have any questions so far?”[/color]
