    Name: ____________________________

In the diagram to the right are five vectors.

Measure the X and Y components of vectors A and C. Express your results in cm.

  1. vector A _____________

  2. vector C _____________

Are any of the vectors equal? Is so, which?



List the vectors in order by magnitude. If any are equal, indicate it clearly.











We'll start by doing some vector arithmetic GRAPHICALLY here; on the other side of the page, we'll do arithmetic using components.
In the left-hand diagram, draw            In the right-hand diagram, draw

 T = the vector sum of A + B                 W  =  C - E
