    1. A vector represents both magnitude and direction, while a scalar only represents magnitude. 2. A vector 8 cm long drawn to the same scale as one representing 5 N would represent 40 N. 3. The resultant of a 100 N upward force and a 75 N downward force is 25 N upward.

    VECTORS - CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS

    1. How does a vector differ from a scalar?

    same scale, represent?

    3. What is the resultant of a pair of forces, 100 N upward and 75 N downward?

    4. What is the resultant of a pair of forces, 100 N downward and 75 N downward?

    5. What is the resultant velocity of an airplane that normally flies at 200 km/h if it experiences a 50 km/h tailwind?

    6. What is the resultant velocity of an airplane that normally flies at 200 km/h if it experiences a 50 km/h
    headwind?

    7. What is the magnitude of the resultant of two vectors of magnitude 4 and 3 that are at right angles to each
    other?

    8. What is the magnitude of the resultant of a pair of 100 N vectors that are at right angles to each other?

    b) How long will it take the boat to get across the river?

    c) How far downstream will the boat land?
