Vector Practice. 1. Draw the components of each vector in the following diagrams. Then calculate the length of each component. 5. If I walk 20 miles North, then 15 miles East, then 10 miles at 35° South of East, What distance have I traveled? What is my displacement? If I travel the entire distance in 4 hours, then what is my average velocity?
This collection of problem sets and problems target student ability to use vector principles and operations, kinematic equations, and Newton's Laws to solve physics word problems associated with objects moving in two dimensions.
1. Label each quantity as being vector or scalar: distance, time, mass, area, energy, impulse, temperature, displacement, volume, speed, acceleration, momentum, work, velocity, force. 2. Sketch the following vectors on a separate piece of paper and draw the resultant: a) C+A. b) D-B.

This worksheet will walk you through some basic vector operations. In your textbooks, you will see vectors denoted in boldface (v), but when writing a vector, we denote it by writing an arrow above the letter (~v).
Practice Problems: Vectors Click here to see the solutions. 1. (easy) Vector A represents 5.0 m of displacement east. If vector B represents 10.0 m of displacement north, find the addition of the two displacements (R). 2. (easy) Determine the x and y components of a displacement whose magnitude is 30.0 m at a 23° angle from the x-axis. 3.
Worksheet 1b – Average Speed and Velocity 1. A high school bus travels 240 km in 6.0 h. What is its average speed for the trip? (in km/h) 2. A spider travels across a driveway 3.6 m wide with a speed of 14 cm/s. How long will it take to cross the driveway? 3. A basketball player steals the ball and runs the length
