CP Ch01.99 Vectors

How are vector quantities represented?

• By arrows with different colors

• By arrows with different lengths

• By circles with different sizes

• By squares with different shapes

What is the relationship between the sum of the square of each side and the square of the hypotenuse when adding vectors?

• They are equal

• They are not related

• The sum is greater than the square of the hypotenuse

• The sum is less than the square of the hypotenuse

Which of the following is an example of a scalar quantity?

• Velocity

• Mass

• Force

• Acceleration

What is the main difference between vectors and scalars?

• Vectors have both magnitude and direction, while scalars have only magnitude

• Vectors have only magnitude, while scalars have both magnitude and direction

• Vectors and scalars are the same

• Vectors and scalars have no relation

Why should different types of vectors, such as velocity, force, and acceleration, not be added together on the same diagram?

• They have different units of measurement

• They have different directions

• They have different magnitudes

• They have different physical properties

Why is it important to use different colors or methods to distinguish between different types of vectors on the same diagram?

• To make the diagram visually appealing

• To confuse the viewers

• To represent the vectors accurately

• To save time in drawing the diagram

How can you find components of vectors?

• By drawing a solid line through the tail end of the vector

• By drawing a dashed line through the head end of the vector

• By drawing a curved line through the vector

• By drawing perpendicular components with dashed lines
