      Identifying Vectors
Which of the following are vector quantities?
| 1. | 4 miles northwest | 
| 2. | 5 meters | 
| 3. | 1200 people | 
| 4. | 10 kilograms | 
| 5. | Pulling a cord straight down with a pressure of 10 pounds | 
| 6. | $200 | 

Given , , , draw the following:
| 7. | |
| 8. | |
| 9. | |
| 10. | |
| 11. | |
| 12. | |

Given the rectangle , study the directions of the vectors, then indicate which statements are true and which are false:
| 13. | |
| 14. | |
| 15. | |
| 16. | |

| 17. Using these two triangles we are given | 
| and | 
| Show that | 
| 18. | Planes A, B, and C leave airport O at 8 A.M., plane A traveling N E at 600 kilometers per hour, plane B traveling due | 
| north at 300 kilometers per hour, and plane C traveling southwest at 400 kilometers per hour. On paper or in drawing software, locate a point | |
| representing the airport O. Through this point draw lines representing an east-west direction and a north-south direction, then sketch vectors | |
| indicating the change in position of each of the first planes after the first hour of flight. Show correct scale by using 1 cm to represent 100 kilometers. | 
Adding Vectors
| 1. | Two forces, one of 300 N and the other of 200 N, act at a point on a body, and are perpendicular to each other. | 
| Construct (on paper or using software) the vector representing the sum of the two forces. | |
| 2. | Construct the vector representing the sum of the two forces in Exercise 1 when the forces form an angle of | 
| with each other. | |
| 3. | Two forces, one of 100 Newtons and one of 175 Newtons, act at a point on a body, and form an angle of | 
| with each other. Construct the vector that represents the resultant of the two forces. | |
