The Physics Classroom(/) Physics Help(/morehelp) Vector Direction

Vector Direction
This web page is designed to provide some additional practice with the use of scaled vector diagrams for the representation of the magnitude
and direction of a vector. Your time will be best spent if you read each practice problem carefully, attempt to solve the problem, and then
check your answer. You are cautioned to avoid making a quick reference to the solution prior to making your own attempt at the solution.
Such a habit is likely to fail at nurturing the ability to draw a scaled vector diagram. If the solution to these practice problems are still not
meaningful, you are encouraged to obtain some on-line help inThe Physics Classroom Tutorial - visit the page on vector
direction(http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/vectors/u3l1a.cfm).

Determine the magnitude and direction of the following vectors inQuestions #1 - #6. Use the counter-clockwise (from East) convention
discussed in class to determine the direction. Use the indicated scale and a scale conversion to determine the magnitude. Use the pull-down to
view the answers.
1. Given theSCALE: 1 cm = 10 m/s, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!
2. Given theSCALE: 1 cm = 50 km/hr, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!
3. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 10 m/s, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!
4. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 50 km/hr, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!
5. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 10 m/s, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!
6. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 50 km/hr, determine the magnitude and direction of this vector.

Show answer!

Use an accurately-drawn scaled vector diagram to represent the magnitude and direction of the following vectors inQuestions #7 - #12. Use
the indicated scale and the counter-clockwise convention discussed in class. Click on thehot linkto check the answers.

NOTE:Since your answers were determined using a scaled vector diagram, small errors in the measurement of the direction and magnitude of
any one of the vectors may lead to small differences between your answers and the correct ones which are shown here. This should not be a
reason for concern.
