Graphical Addition of Vectors

N
Describe the vector shown in each of the following. Be sure to include both magnitude and direction.

1. 2. 3.

1 mm = 5N 1 mm = 10 m/s 1 mm = 100 m

Graphically solve the following problems.

4. An ant walks 8 squares to the East then walks 8 squares

to the South then turns and walks 12 squares to the West
and finally 18 squares to the North. What was the
displacement of the ant?

5. Three men were trying to pull a tree stump out of the

ground. The first man was pulling with a force of 100 N
to the North. The second man was pulling with a force of
75 N at an angle of 45 degrees North of East. The third
man was pulling at 75 N at an angle of 45 degrees North
of West. What resultant force is being applied to the tree
stump?
