Physics Department Grade 11 AP- Unit5-L1 Vectors

Name:

Example: Imagine you are walking 3 meters east (Vector A) and then 4 meters north (Vector
B). To find out how far and in which direction you are from your starting point, you can add
these two vectors graphically:

Practice problems: inspire book page 116:

1) You and your family are out for a drive. You drive 125.0 km due west, then turn due south
and drive for another 65.0 km. What is the magnitude of your displacement? Solve this
problem both graphically and mathematically and check your answers against each other.

2) On a fine, sunny day, you and your siblings decide to go for a nearby hike. You walk 4.5 km in
one direction, then make a 45° turn to the right and walk another 6.4 km.
What is the magnitude of your displacement?

3) After picking up school supplies, you and your caregiver walk from the door of the mall to
the car. You first walk 250.0 m down a lane of cars, and then turn 90° to the right and walk an
additional 60.0 m. How far is the car from the door to the mall?
Solve this problem both graphically and mathematically and check your answers against
each other.

4) An ant crawls on the sidewalk. It first moves south a distance of 5.0 cm. It then turns
southwest and crawls 4.0 cm. what is the magnitude of the ant's displacement?
Practice problems book page 121.

5) Sudhir walks 0.40 km in a direction 60.0° west of north, then goes 0.50 km due west. What is
his displacement?

6) You first walk 8.0 km north from home, then walk east until your displacement from home is
10.0 km. How far east did you walk?

8.) Could a vector ever be shorter than one of its components? Equal in length to one of its
components? Explain.

9) two ropes tied to a tree branch hold up a child swing as shown in figure 7. the tension in each rope
is 2.28 N. what is the combined force (magnitude and direction) of the two ropes one the swing?
