Suggested Problems
Assignments
a. Use questions 2, 3, and 4 to discuss properties of vectors. Questions 1 and 5 deal with
vector addition and subtraction. Question 4 deals with the signs of components.
b. Ask students to use graphical representations of vectors to think about problems such as
8 and 10.
18 Lecture Notes: Chapter 3
c. Problems 1, 6, and 10 cover the fundamentals of vector components. Problems 5 and 4
stress the physical meaning of vector components. Some good problems to test understanding
of analytic vector addition and subtraction are 15, 16, 20, and 24.
d. Unit vectors are used in problems 12, 13, 18, and 20.
