G A3.1 - Vectors

Get the Formative Assessment: FA03.1.pdf

This assessment covers these video flips:

  • 3A. Learn what a vector is, and what types we will use.

  • 3B. Learn how to find vector components.

  • 3C. Learn how to add two vector component vectors.

  • 3D. Learn how to draw vector component vectors, and calculate an angle and a magnitude

  • 3E. Add two angle magnitude vectors.

The Formative Assessment solved:

1-5. (To grade your FA, you will need to go to the very end of the video below. Pay careful attention to the drawing, make sure you have used arrows, and labeled an angle and the magnitude the same way I have in the video)

D. Draw these vectors as Angle Magnitude vectors.

The vector should be an arrow, and calculate and label its magnitude (hypotenuse) and the angle:


1) 6.00 m x + 8.00 m y

2) -4.50 m x + 6.40 m y

3) -5.12 m x + -3.90 m y

4) 56.3 m x + -37.0 m y
