- What is the difference between a vector and a scalar? Which part of the vector is the same as a scalar?
- The resultant vector of a fishing pole with a fish pulling the line would be a vector with some force from the handle of the fishing pole to the fish. Give another example of a real-life two-vector problem, and describe the resultant vector.
- A kite on a string has a resultant force of zero (the force of the kite pulling against the string is canceled by the equal and opposite direction force of the person pulling down the string). Give another real-life example of a two-vector problem whose resultant is zero.
- What are concurrent vectors?
- What is the difference between a space diagram and a vector polygon?
- In Bow's notation, how are the structural members of lines of force generated?
- What is meant by a free body in stress diagram?
- Give an example of a relative motion problem that could be solved using vector analysis. What information must be given in order to solve the problem?
