Force of Nature

Also known as a quantity, vectors measure the velocity and the speed of how much things are. Vectors are also referred to as the “muchness of something.” This blog is about waves their properties through vectors. As the energy from the wind transforms to the surface of the ocean, it creates power, which transforms into waves. Waves, a force of nature, are never the same but can be recorded and measured through vectors. In relation to physics and mentioned in my last blog, vectors measure the magnitude and direction of a specific object. 

Car Vectors

Measuring size and magnitude outlines another week's focus on vectors. Vectors are apart of our everyday lives that are described as a change in speed and direction while in motion. As I was driving home from school one day, I noticed that the cars traveling in the same direction weren't moving much faster or slower than I was. This was because two objects that accelerate in the same direction will seem to not be moving at a great speed relative to each other. But over the median, where cars are traveling at the same speed in the opposite direction seem to travel at twice their actual speed. Although the speed limits were the same, an object that travels in the opposite direction will seem to be traveling faster than the original object. A vector ultimately illustrates the physics of force and matter in everyday life.
