Ph 201: General Physics I 1 Vector Worksheet To begin this exercise, use a computer to start-up Internet Explorer (or comparable web browser) and go to www.wiley.com/college/halliday. Select “Student Companion Site” for the 7th edition of Fundamentals of Physics then select on “Concept Simulations” from the left-side menu. Click on the “Concept Simulations” link then select “Vector Addition Using Components” from the left-side menu. This simulation will be used to verify your graphical and calculation-based results. 1) Draw a horizontal velocity vector where the magnitude is 10 m/s (use 1 cm = 2 m/s as a scale).
