Tutorial on vectors and vector addition In this course it is very important that you have confidence in summing vectors, both geometrically and analytically. This worksheet will help you review vectors and vector sums. If you have any trouble answering the questions below, make sure to review the relevant material from Phy 211 and consult your workshop instructor to clarify any questions you may have. 1. A vector V makes and angle @ with the horizontal (zx axis). (a) Write an expression for the component of V in the horizontal direction (also called x component, V;). (b) Write an expression for the component of V in the vertical direc- tion (also called y component, V,). (c) Assume that @ = 60° and that the magnitude of V is 8 units. Find the values of V, and Vy.
