The plan was to continue working with Matthew on calculating the length and position of a resultant vector after resolving the contributing vectors into their parts. After finishing that problem, I would work with him to use dimensional analysis to estimate values in problems. Unfortunately, Matthew was not available for virtual or in-person instruction. There was no assignment.

Matthew and I finished the problem we started yesterday to determine the distance and direction of a hurricane based on its movement over a period of time. We then started a problem to find the resultant based on three other vectors. We only were able to analyze the first vector before we ran out of time. There was no assignment.

Matthew and I finished the problem from yesterday by calculating the length and direction of a vector from Dallas to Chicago. I then started to show him a problem of locating the position of a hurricane, which follows a certain course for a given time and then changes direction for a different amount of time. I utilized the problem to demonstrate how to draw a sketch of the problem and label it. There was no assignment.

Matthew and I worked together to find the resultant vector given two oblique vectors. I showed him how to resolve each of two vectors into their component north and east vectors. I then showed him how to combine the components in order to come up with the total north and the total east components. We will finish the problem tomorrow. There was no assignment.

The plan was to finish a problem about converting a vector in polar coordinates to rectangular components. That was to be followed by problems converting rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates and some problems about adding vectors to find their resultants. Unfortunately, Matthew was not able to attend class either physically or virtually. There was no assignment.

I guided Matthew through some textbook problems about using trigonometry and vectors to calculate displacement and position. We reviewed some of the trigonometry formulas he learned last year in geometry. There was no assignment because Matthew was at home but did not have his textbook.
