Downloaded from hlayiso.com A resultant is one vector, which has the same effect on a body as the two or more vectors that are actually acting on that body. It starts at the beginning of the first vector and ends at the end of the last one. An equilibrant is one vector, which cancels out the effect that the two or more vectors actually have on a body. It is equal in size to the resultant but opposite in direction. Positive (+) and negative (-) signs are used to indicate direction in vectors. (Not their magnitude.) Arrows are used in vectors to give magnitude (length of arrow) and direction (head of arrow). IMPORTANT NOTE IN THIS SECTION  Usage of the Protractor.  Use of the correct scale  Understanding the difference between The Tail to Tail and The Tail to Head Method.  Measuring the Angles from the reference line to the Vector. When the Learners are using the Protractor, they must ensure that Tail of the vector as at the dot centre of the protractor, and that the line is correctly placed.

Adding co-linear vectors  Co-linear vectors are simply vectors that lie in the same straight line.  The net x-component (Rx ) is the sum of the vectors parallel with the x- direction: 𝑅𝑥 = 𝑅𝑥1 + 𝑅𝑥2  The net y-component (Ry) is the sum of the vectors perpendicular to the x- direction: 𝑅𝑦 = 𝑅𝑦1 + 𝑅𝑦2 Worked Example Two forces of 3N and 2N apply an upward force to an object. At the same time, two forces each of 2N act horizontally to the right. Find the resultant force acting on the object.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Step 1: Draw a diagram and calculate the net vertical and net horizontal forces Step 2: Graphical representation of Rx and Ry Step 3: To find resultant (R) of the above vectors, one can be using tail-to-tail drawing of vectors Tail to tail method or Parallelogram: Note: When vectors are drawn tail-to-tail, a parallelogram must be completed in order to determine their resultant.  Pythagoras theorem is used to calculate the magnitude of the resultant.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com  Considering the vector diagram above we can use Pythagoras theorem as follows: 𝑅 = 𝑅𝑥 + 𝑅𝑦2 2 2 𝑅2=42+52 𝑅=√42+52 𝑅=6.40 𝑁  Use trigonometry to find the direction of the resultant as follows: 𝑅𝑦 5 tanθ= 𝑅 = 4 𝑥 Ө = 51.240 Worked Example: A force of F1 = 5N is applied to a block in a horizontal direction. A second force F2 = 4N is applied to the object at an angle of 30⁰ above the horizontal. Determine the resultant of the two forces, by accurate scale drawing. Step 1: Draw rough sketches of the vector diagrams: Note: Forces are NOT perpendicular Step 2: Choose the suitable scale. e.g. 1cm: 1N Step 3: Draw the first vector (F1) on the horizontal, according to the scale. Step 4: Draw the second scaled vector (F2) 30⁰ above the horizontal. Step 5: Complete the parallelogram and draw the diagonal (which is the resultant) Step 6: Use the protractor to measure the angle between the horizontal and the resultant Step 7: Apply scale and convert the measured length to the actual magnitude.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com The resultant is 8,7N, 13,3⁰ above the horizontal. GRAPHICAL DETERMINATION OF THE RESULTANT VECTOR Tail-to-head method is used to find the resultant of two or more consecutive vectors (vectors that are successive) Steps to be followed:  Choose the suitable scale e.g. 10mm: 10N  Accurately draw the first vector as an arrow according to chosen scale and in the correct direction  Draw the second vector by placing the tail of the second vector at the tip of the first vector {tail – to – head method}  Complete the diagram by drawing the resultant from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector.  Make sure that you measure the angles correctly with a protractor.  Always add arrow heads to vectors to indicate the direction.  Measure the length and direction of the resultant vector. Use the scale to determine the real magnitude of the resultant. Worked Example 1: A ship leaves a harbour H and sails 6km north to port A. From here the ship travels 12 km east to port B, before sailing 5,5 km at 450 south-west to port C. Determine the ship’s restaurant displacement using the tail-to-head technique. Rough sketch:
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Using a scale 1cm: 2km, the accurate drawing of vectors is: Measure the angle between the North line and the resultant with a protractor to find that the direction of the resultant displacement: Resultant displacement of the ship is 9,2 km on a bearing of 72, 3⁰. Example 2: A man walks 40m East, then 30m North. Use a scale of 1 cm: 10 m and answer the following questions: 1. What was the total distance he walked? 2. Determine by construction his resultant displacement? 3. Calculate determine the direction of the resultant. 4. Calculate the magnitude of resultant displacement Solutions: 1. Rough sketch
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Total distance = 40m + 30m = 70 m 2. Scale: 1cm: 10m The resultant is 50m, 37⁰ from the horizontal 30 Tan Ф= 40 Ф=36,87⁰ R2 = x2 + y2 = 402 + 302 = 2500 R = 50m CO-LINEAR VECTORS Co-linear vectors are simply vectors that lie in the same straight line. They either act in the same direction or in the opposite direction, e.g. vectors pointing east or west are co-linear; vectors pointing north and west are not co-linear because they act at an angle (90°) to each other. Draw the diagram alongside, on the board, of four forces acting on an object.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com The 60 N and 275 N force vectors act along the horizontal axis (x-axis). It is essential to use signs (+ and -) to indicate the direction of vectors which act in the same line. In the Cartesian plane, right is positive (+) and left is negative (‒). The 275 N force acts to the right and is therefore represented as +275 N. The 60 N force acts to the left and is therefore represented as ‒60 N. The resultant horizontal force (Rx) is the vector sum of the forces acting along the horizontal (or x-) axis: Rx = (+275) + (- 60) = +215 N. The positive sign (+) in the answer indicates that the resultant horizontal force acts to the right: Rx = 215 N to the right. The 135 N and 45 N forces act in the vertical direction (y-axis). In the Cartesian plane, up is positive (+) and down is negative (‒). The 135 N force acts upwards and is therefore represented as +135 N. The 45 N force acts downwards and is therefore represented as ‒45 N. The resultant vertical force (Ry) is the vector sum of the forces acting in the vertical direction. Rx = (+135) +(- 45) = + 90 N Ry = 90N Upwards
Downloaded from hlayiso.com CONCEPT We have now simplified the given force diagram to just two perpendicular force vectors. The resultant force can be found by drawing a neat vector diagram using the tail-to-tail method or the tail-to-head method. Tail-to-tail method Place the tails of the two vectors together (tail to-tail) in the Cartesian plane and complete the parallelogram by drawing in the opposite sides. The opposite sides are PARALLEL and EQUAL IN LENGTH to each other. Tail to Tail Tail to Head The resultant force (R) is the diagonal of the parallelogram. Draw in the diagonal of the parallelogram. The diagonal MUST start from the TWO TAILS of the given forces. We now have two right-angled triangles to work with. Use Pythagoras to calculate the magnitude of the resultant force (R). R2 = 902 + 2152 R2 = 54325 R =√𝟓𝟒𝟑𝟐𝟓 =233.07N This is the magnitude of the resultant force. We now need to find the direction of the resultant force. Place a θ into your vector diagram to represent the angle between the resultant force and the horizontal plane.

The resultant force (R) MUST be drawn from the TAIL of the first vector to the HEAD of the second vector. As shown in the previous method, use Pythagoras to calculate the magnitude of the resultant force (R) and a trig. ratio to find the direction of the resultant force.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com MATTER AND MATERIALS Intermolecular forces The covalent bond occurs when atoms of non-metal elements share unpaired valence electrons to achieve noble gas electron configuration. Example: The covalent bond is an interatomic force and the result product is a molecule. The covalent bonds are very strong and one requires a large amount of energy to break them i.e. to separate the atoms of the molecule. The intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction that exist between molecules of a chemical substance in a solid or liquid form.. The intermolecular forces are weaker than interatomic forces. Examples 1. 2. Interatomic force intermolecular forces The strength of intermolecular forces determines the physical properties (boiling points, melting point, evaporation, etc.) of a molecular substance. Molecules can be polar or non-polar. The polarity of a molecule is determined by two factors :  The difference in electronegativity between the bonding atoms.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com  The geometry (shape) of a molecule. Non-polar molecules have no dipoles (positive and negative ends) e.g. CO2 + - + Difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) = 3,5 – 2,5 = 1,0 → bond between C and O is polar but both ends of CO2 are ∂+ and the molecule is linear. The molecule is therefore non-polar. Polar molecule In polar molecule there are ∂+ and ∂- ends e.g. H2O and the geometry of the molecule is angular (bent) - + ΔEN = 3,5 – 2,1 = 1,4. The two bonds (between H and O atoms) are polar. H2O molecule has H-end being ∂+ and O-end being ∂-, they are called dipoles. The molecule is polar Non-polar bonds: • H2 is non-polar because the two atoms are identical, there is even or symmetrical distribution of charge, this makes H2 a non-polar molecule. • The electro-negativity between the two atoms is zero, this explains why the interatomic bond in Hydrogen molecule is non-polar TYPES OF INTERMOLECULAR FORCES 1. Van der Waals forces: van der Waals force is a weak attraction between molecules The force of attraction is between polar and non-polar molecules (a) Dipole-dipole force is an attraction between polar molecules. Examples: 1: between molecules of HCℓ
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Example: 2. When HCℓ dissolves in water Dipole-dipole forces are the strongest intermolecular forces (b) Dipole-induced dipole force is a weak force of attraction that exist when a polar causing a distortion in arrangement of electrons in a non-polar molecule. Temporary dipoles are induced in a non-polar molecule e.g. mixture of HCℓ and argon. (c) Induced dipole forces (London forces) occurs between atoms or molecules of non-polar substances e.g. Between atoms of noble gases, molecules of diatomic molecules (H2; N2; O2; F2; Cℓ2), non- polar compounds (CH4; CCℓ4; BF3), between molecules of CO2(s) – dry ice Induced dipole forces are the weakest van der Waals forces 2. Hydrogen bond is a special type of dipole-dipole force. Hydrogen bond is a force attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine in a molecule to a lone pair of an adjacent molecules e.g. between H2O molecules, between HF molecules. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular forces. 3. Ion-dipole force is the attraction of an ion with a positive or negative charge and the oppositely charged end of the dipole of polar molecule e.g. NaCℓ dissolved in water 4. Ion-induced dipole force is an attraction between an ion and a non-polar molecule. As an ion approaches a non-polar molecule, it causes a distortion in the arrangement of the arrangement of the electrons of non-polar molecules. Momentary dipoles are induced in non-polar molecules e.g. dissolving NaCℓ in hexane (C6H14) PHYSICAL STATE AND DENSITY EXPLAINED IN TERMS OF THESE INTERMOLECULAR FORCES Boiling Point The hydrogen bonds between highly polar water molecules are stronger than normal dipole-dipole forces and more energy is needed to break these bonds. Energy needed for molecules to evaporate, is called

Surface tension  The surface of a liquid may be considered as an elastic film or skin. As a result of this surface phenomenon, it is possible for insects to walk on the surface of a liquid.  The curved surfaces (menisci) of liquids, most noticeable in narrow tubes, and the fact that a water drop is always spherical, are properties which are linked to surface tension.  Surface tension can be defined as the resistance that a liquid offers to a force which tries to increase its surface area. Density  The common statements that mercury is “heavier” than water or that iron is “heavier” than aluminium are actually not correct. It is not the mass of the substances that is compared, but the mass per unit volume, which is known as the density.  The density of a substance is independent of the amount and size of the sample and can therefore be used as an aid to distinguish one pure substance from another. Stronger intermolecular forces will result in substances having greater densities.  According to the kinetic molecular theory, particles in a gas are far apart with no regular motion. Particles in a liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. Particles in a solid are close together, usually in a regular pattern.  It implies that the number of particles per unit volume will decrease from the solid to the liquid state. (Refer to diagram).  The density of a substance increases as it changes from the gas to the liquid and solid state, because the intermolecular forces increase as substances changes from the gas to the solid state.  Note: The density of most substances known, decreases as the temperature rises. However, the density of water increases as the temperature is raised from 0 0C to 4 0C. (Refer to the lesson: Macroscopic properties of the three phases of water related to their microscopic structure)

K = ½mv3  The mass of the particles remains constant – motion increases.  T (Temperature is directly proportional to average kinetic energy of the particles).  The molar masses of the particles increase in the following order: F2 Cℓ2 Br2. The London forces between the non-polar molecule increase with an increase in molar mass. At the same temperature, the forces between F2 molecules are weaker than between Cℓ 2 molecules etc.  An increase in temperature decreases the bond strength between the molecules. The particles are further apart and the substance becomes less dense.  Thermometers work by using thermal expansion of a liquid to measure temperature; construction (bridges); it can also be used in loosening nuts and bolts; a hot-air balloon uses the thermal expansion of air to generate lift. • Thermal expansion is the expansion of a liquid on heating. • Thermal conductivity is a measure of how much a material conducts heat. Kinetic energy of particles and temperature change  Heat is a form of energy. During the heating process, the particles of the substance absorb energy that allows them to vibrate in all directions and collide with each other. Energy that causes motion is called kinetic energy. All the particles do not gain the same amount of energy and they also transfer energy to other particles when they collide with each other.  An increase in the temperature of gas particles increases the average kinetic energy of the particles and they will move faster (K = ½mv2). The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the particles. Thermal expansion  The most easily observed examples of thermal expansion are size changes of materials as they are heated or cooled. Almost all materials (solids, liquids, and gases) expand when they are heated, and contract when they are cooled. Increased temperature increases the frequency and magnitude of the molecular motion of the material and produces more energetic collisions. Increasing the energy of the collisions forces the molecules further apart and causes the material to expand.  Different materials expand or contract at different rates. In general, gases expand more than liquids, and liquids expand more than solids. Example:
Downloaded from hlayiso.com  Because the liquid expands at a faster rate than the tube, it rises as the temperature increases and drops as the temperature decreases.  The first step in producing a thermometer scale is to record the height of the liquid at two known temperatures (i.e. the boiling point and freezing point of water). The difference in fluid height between these points is divided into equal increments to indicate the temperature at heights between these extremes. CHEMISTRY OF WATER  The atoms in a water molecule are held together strongly by covalent bonds to for angular molecule. The electrons are not evenly around the molecule. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen and the oxygen side of the water molecule is partially negative, while the hydrogen is partially positive. So water molecules are polar and the form dipoles.  The water molecules are strongly attracted to one another through hydrogen bonds. At the Temperature below 0◦C at the atmospheric pressure, water is a solid (ICE), at that stage water molecules are arranged in a regular pattern to form ice crystals.  When you heat the ice, the water molecules start to vibrate faster and the kinetic energy of water molecules increases. At 0◦C, the particles are moving vigorously to break the lattice pattern. (More notes on Study and master)  At solid state – water molecules are closely parked together where hydrogen bond is very strong where they do not move (no kinetic energy)  Liquid state – water molecules can now vibrate and move (there is kinetic energy)  Gaseous state – water molecules are scattered free to move ( more kinetic energy) resulting in a very week hydrogen bonds (others they even say at this stage there no hydrogen bonds  So water has a very high specific heat capacity of 4 200 kJ.kg-1.K-1.to rise the temperature of water we need first to break many intermolecular forces (Hydrogen bonds). Therefore water molecules absorb lots of heat while its temperature rises slightly. The opposite also true – water molecule can give off much heat with only slight decrease in its temperature.  The polar water molecules vibrate, which enable them to absorb heat from the sun. The water in lakes and oceans can absorb large amount heat in summer and give off heat in winter, with only small changes in the temperature of the water. This effect moderates the climate of
Downloaded from hlayiso.com adjacent land masses. In short, oceans act as reservoirs of heat and ensure that the Earth has a moderate climate. Water vapour (H2O(g)) and carbon dioxide (CO2(g)) in the atmosphere provide a temperature buffer (greenhouse effect) which helps maintain a relatively steady surface temperature. The polarity of the covalent bonds in H2O-molecules and the strong hydrogen bond between the molecules that vibrates at the same frequency as infrared light are responsible for the fact that water absorbs sunlight. INVESTIGATE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER (H2O) 1. INVESTIGATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1⁰C. Water has high specific heat capacity of 4200J.kg-1. ⁰C-1 A high specific heat capacity requires more energy for the temperature to change. This means water absorbs a lot of heat energy to increase the temperature of 1kg by 1⁰C. Water has higher specific heat capacity than oil because te rate at which temperature of water increases is less than that of oil with the same amount of heat added. Melting point and boiling point of water Melting point is the temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point. The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance equal atmospheric pressure. Melting point of water is 𝑂0 𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑏𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑠 100⁰𝐶 When the boiling point of water is measured at sea level(e.g. towns like Cape town and Durban),it is often very close to 100⁰𝐶 since atmospheric pressure is almost the same as standard pressure. If you measure boiling point of water in a town at a higher altitudes (e.g. Johannesburg or Polokwane) it will have a slightly lower boiling point. 2 .WATER AS A SOLVENT A solvent is the substance that dissolves a solute to produce a homogeneous mixture.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. What makes water a good solvent? The polarity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds makes water a good solvent.  The polarity of water allows it to dissolve both ionic bonds and other polar molecules.  A water molecule is polar because the electric charge is distributed unevenly because the oxygen atom is on one end ,causing it to have slight negative charge and hydrogen atom is on one end causing it to have slight positive charge. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are a much stronger type of intermolecular force than those found in many other substances and affects the properties of water. 3. Investigating Surface tension o Intermolecular forces are forces between neighbouring molecules. . Surface tension is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid. o Water has strong hydrogen bonds between the molecules. These intermolecular forces hold the particles more strongly together increasing surface tension.  The molecules of water attract each other strongly.  The drop of water does not spread out easily on the paper and keeps its shape on the wax paper,  This shows that there are strong intermolecular forces on between water molecules. The oil particles spread out easily as a result of weak London forces. 4. Density of water Density is the the mass per unit volume. 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 Density=𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 Another unusual property of water is that its solid phase (ice) is less dense than its liquid phase. This can observed by put ice into the a glass of water .The ice does not sink to the bottom of the glass but floats on top of the liquid. This phenomenon is related to hydrogen bonds between particles of water .While other material contract when they solidify, water expands. The ability of the ice to float is very important
