PhysicsLAB Practice Problems
Adding Parallel, Anti-parallel, and Orthogonal Vectors


Directions: On this worksheet you will practice adding vectors that are either parallel or antiparallel as well as those that are at right angles to each other.

Question 1  Two vectors are added together: (5,0º) and (10, 180º). The magnitude of their resultant is
Question 2  What is the direction of the resultant in Question #1
Question 3  Two vectors are added together: (8, 0º) and (21, 270º). The magnitude of their resultant is
Question 4  The direction of the vector in Question #3 is
Question 5  Two vectors are added together: (21, 90º) and (10, 180º). The magnitude of their resultant is
Question 6  The direction of the vector in Question #5 is
