Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working clearly in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Given vectors A = (3, 4) and B = (1, -2), calculate the resultant vector R = A + B.
[3 marks]
2.
Construct vectors C = (5, 2) and D = (-3, 7) on the grid. Find their resultant.
[3 marks]
3.
Two vectors, P = (2, 5) and Q = (3, -1), are added to produce the resultant R. What is R?
[2 marks]
4.
If vector M = (x, 7) and vector N = (4, y), and their resultant is (x+4, y+7), find the resulting vector and explain the process.
[4 marks]
5.
Plot vectors A = (1, 2), B = (4, 3), and their sum on the grid. Confirm the position of the resultant vector.
[3 marks]
6.
Two vectors, X = (x, 4) and Y = (3, y), produce a resultant of (x+3, y+4). If the resultant vector is (7, 9), find x and y.
[4 marks]
7.
A resultant vector is obtained by adding vectors E = (2, -1) and F = (3, 4). What is the magnitude of the resultant?
[3 marks]
8.
Explain how to determine the resultant of two vectors when they are not aligned along the axes, using the parallelogram rule.
[4 marks]
9.
Given vectors G = (x, y) and H = (2x, -3y), find the resultant vector and determine the conditions for its magnitude to be zero.
[4 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following student solution: Adding vectors (2, 3) and (4, 5) incorrectly gives (6, 7).
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: Two vectors A = (x, y) and B = (-x, 2y) are added to produce a resultant of (0, 3y). Find x and y in terms of y.
[4 marks]
