1. In order to describe two dimensional or three
dimensional motions, we use vectors.
However, direction of the motion of an
object along a straight line is shown by
positive and negative signs.
2. The perimeter of the rectangle would be the
sum of the lengths of the four sides, i.e. 1.0 m
& 0.5 m & 1.0 m & 0.5 m $ 3.0 m.
Since, length of each side is a scalar, thus the
perimeter is also a scalar.
3. We know that, impulse J $ F ' <t $ <p, where
F is force, <t is time duration and <p is
change in momentum. As <p is a vector
7. Vectors obey the triangle law of addition,
according to which, if vector B is placed with
its tail at the head of vector A. Then, when
we join the tail of A to the head of B. The
line OQ represents a vector R, i.e. the sum of
the vectors A and B. Thus, figure given in
option (d) is correct.
8. To subtract B from A, we can add – B and A.
So, A & ( " B) $ A " B $ R2 . This is as shown
