Vectors is an exciting new content inclusion into the Ext1 syllabus that has attracted an impressive 6
and 4 questions in the 2021 and 2020 Ext1 exams respectively.
55 kN
A supplementary database has been created with a focus on the new syllabus dot points, NESA
sample exam questions and vector exam question history in other States. 20°
This topic has been split into four categories: 1-Operations with Vectors (5.7%), 2-Vectors, Force and 25°
Velocity (2.1%), 3-Vectors and Geometry (3.6%), and 4-Vectors and Projectile Motion (2.9%).

HSC ANALYSIS - What to expect and common pitfalls


Vectors, Force and Velocity (2.1%) represent important question themes in our view, and have 3. Vectors, EXT1 V1 EQ-Bank 3
therefore been given their own sub-category.
The 2021 exam underlined this view with the allocation of a 3-mark question looking at vectors and A force described by the vector newtons is applied to a line which is parallel to the
velocity. This caused major problems and produced a mean mark of 31%. We recommend careful
revision of 2021 Ext1 14a and other similar examples that have been added to the database.
vector .
Force and vectors is explicitly mentioned in the new syllabus and appeared in the NESA Ext1 sample
examination in a 3-mark question. We have taken note and covered this area in our database.
i. Find the component of the force in the direction of . (2 marks)

ii. What is the component of the force in the direction perpendicular to the line? (1 mark)

11 km/h

A man attempts to swim north across a river at a speed of 4.5 km/h.


If the river's current is moving at 11 km/h due east, find the bearing (nearest degree) and speed (to 1
decimal place) that the man will actually be swimming. (3 marks)

5. Vectors, EXT1 V1 2021 HSC 14a


A plane needs to travel to a destination that is on a bearing of 063°. The engine is set to fly at a
constant 175 km/h. However, there is a wind from the south with a constant speed of 42 km/h.
On what constant bearing, to the nearest degree, should the direction of the plane be set in order to
reach the destination? (3 marks)

6. Vectors, EXT1 V1 SM-Bank 31


A drone is set to fly west at 38 km/h.
A cross wind diverts its path so that it travels with a speed of 45 km/h in the direction shown below.
