NewProgress - AMaths TB - ch11

This document contains a test on vectors in two-dimensional space with 5 questions. The test covers topics like: 1) Finding t if a point P is perpendicular to vector OB, given vectors OA and OB. 2) Finding the value of a and a unit vector in the direction of AB, given vectors OA and OB where the angle between them is 90 degrees. 3) Finding the cosine of an angle between two vectors and the value of λ if a point P is perpendicular to a vector. 4) Finding the value of m if the angle between two vectors is given in terms of cosine. 5) Finding products of lengths of vectors, the length of a perpendicular segment,
