Chapter 3--Vectors

On a diagram, each vector is represented by an __.

• line

• arrow

• color

• broken line

the arithmetic sum (or difference) of the magnitudes and the directions of two or more vectors

• total

• scalar

• resultant vector

• arithmetic vector

Drawing a __ of a particular physical situation is helpful when dealing with vectors.

• map

• diagram

• matrix

• vertical line (test)

a quantity that has magnitude but has no direction associated with it

• vector

• scalar

In typed work, the symbol for a vector will always use __ type.

• italic

• underlined

• bold

• all of the above

In handwritten work, the symbol for a vector can be indicated by __.

• a broken line

• a triangle

• a Greek letter

• putting an arrow over it

a quantity that has both magnitude and direction

• vector

• scalar

When drawing a diagram, the __ is always drawn so that it points in the direction of the vector it represents.

• tail

• arrow

• angle

• clip art

When drawing a diagram, the __ of the arrow is drawn proportional to the magnitude of the vector.

• width

• direction

• thickness

• length

Is distance a scalar or vector?

• vector

• scalar
