Vector Practice 1. Draw the components of each vector in the following diagrams. Then calculate the length of each component. a) b) 23° 2. For each of the following, draw the given vectors tip to tail, draw the resultant vector including angle, then calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector.
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).
