ME-V1
Introduction to Vectors
Represent vectors in two dimensions; perform vector arithmetic; resolve vectors into components; apply to geometric proofs and motion.
Sample questions
- 1.ABCD is a quadrilateral with AB = p and AD = q. Express AC and BD in terms of p and q.
- 2.A particle moves with velocity v = 3i − 4j. Find its speed and direction of motion.
Exam weighting
4–6 marks — geometric proofs are a challenging application.
Common student mistakes
- ·Confusing column vectors with position vectors
- ·Incorrect vector subtraction direction
- ·Forgetting to express magnitude using Pythagoras
