1) During a relay race, runner A runs a certain distance due north and then hands off the
baton to runner B, who runs for the same distance in a direction south of east. The two
displacement vectors A and B can be added together to give a resultant vector R. Which
drawing correctly shows the resultant vector?
5)
The
drawing
shows
five
displacement vectors. Which four of these vectors, when added together in a tail-to-head manner,
give a resultant vector that is zero? (Hint: The resultant vector is the vector drawn from the tail of
the first vector to the head of the last vector. If the resultant vector is zero, what must be true
about the tail of the first vector relative to the head of the last vector?
1) Vectors 1, 2, 3, and 5
2) Vectors 1, 2, 4, and 5
4) Vectors 2, 3, 4, and 5
5) Vectors 1, 2, 3, and 4
