- IV

About This Quiz

This quiz assesses understanding of vector addition with diagrams, focusing on operations like sum, difference, and inversion of vectors. It's tailored for students preparing for physics exams, enhancing skills in vector mechanics.

2.

7. In the figure, which diagram represents the vector addition,C = - A + B?
- I
- II
- III
- IV
Correct Answer

A. III

Explanation

Diagram III represents the vector addition C = -A + B. In this diagram, vector A is shown in the opposite direction with a negative sign, and vector B is shown in the same direction. When we subtract vector A from vector B, we get vector C. Therefore, diagram III is the correct representation of the vector addition C = -A + B.

10. In the figure above, which diagram represents the vector addition, C = - A - B?
- II
- III
- IV
- V
Correct Answer

A. V

6. In the figure, which diagram represents the vector addition,C = A + B?
- I
- II
- III
- IV
Correct Answer

A. II

Explanation

Diagram II represents the vector addition C = A + B because it shows the two vectors A and B being added head-to-tail. The resulting vector C starts at the tail of A and ends at the head of B. This is the correct method of vector addition, where the magnitudes and directions of A and B are combined to determine the magnitude and direction of C.

8. In the figure above, which diagram represents the vector addition, C = A - B?
- I
- II
- III
- IV
Correct Answer

A. IV

Explanation

Diagram IV represents the vector addition C = A - B. In this diagram, vector B is subtracted from vector A, resulting in vector C. The direction of vector C is determined by subtracting the direction of vector B from the direction of vector A. The magnitude of vector C is determined by subtracting the magnitude of vector B from the magnitude of vector A. Therefore, diagram IV correctly represents the vector addition C = A - B.

8. In the figure, which diagram represents the vector addition, C = A - B?
- I
- II
- III
- IV
Correct Answer

A. IV

Explanation

Diagram IV represents the vector addition C = A - B because it shows the vector A pointing in one direction and the vector B pointing in the opposite direction. When we subtract vector B from vector A, we get vector C which is shown in Diagram IV. The other diagrams do not accurately represent the subtraction of vector B from vector A.
