TOOLS FOR SCIENTIFIC THINKING: VECTOR EVALUATION
Directions: Answer questions in the spaces on the answer sheet.
The following questions are about the two vectors a and b shown below. (Just as they appear
to be the vectors are in the plane (on the surface) of the page.) The vectors a and b have the
same magnitude.
a

Choose the one anwer from the 11 choices A through K below that best answers the question.
You may use a choice more than once or not at all but choose only one answer for each blank.
If you think that none is correct, answer choice N.

K. The result is 0.

N. None of the choices are correct.

1. The two vectors a and b are added using vector addition. Which choice best
represents the vector sum a + b?
2. The two vectors a and b are subtracted using vector subtraction. Which choice best
represents the vector difference a - b?
3. The two vectors b and a are subtracted using vector subtraction. Which choice best
represents the vector difference b - a?
4. Which choice best represents the sum of vector a with itself a+a?
4a. Show how three non-zero vectors can add up to be zero. Draw an example.

Using the coordinate axis shown below (x and y coordinates), answer the questions about the
vectors shown. Assume that the vector components are vectors along the appropriate axis.
Choose as many vectors a through e that meet the conditions of the question.

5. Which vector(s) has(have) a non-zero x component?
6. Which vector(s) has(have) an x component pointing in the negative x-coordinate direction?
7. Which vector(s) has(have) a zero y component?
8. Which vector(s) has(have) a non-zero y component?
9. Which vector(s) has(have) a y component pointing in positive y-coordinate direction?
10. Which vector(s) has(have) a zero x component?
11. Which vector has the greatest magnitude?
12. Draw a vector on the axis above that has equal x and y components with the x component
in the positive x direction and the y component in the negative y direction.
