Knowledge Check: Drawing a Vector, Problem Please answer the following question(s): In this problem we practice drawing vectors that are combinations of other vectors. You will graphically combine the vectors 2A-1/2 B to find the resultant vector R. Find the resultant vector R=2A-1/2 B from the selection of vectors provided below. Place vectors at the location starting from the blue dot and keeping the order of addition as 2A-1/2 B. Finally, use the R the resultant vector starting from the blue dot. (The answer to this problem is on the next page, Drawing a Vector, Solution.) 1. Use the graphical method to construct the vector 8 R = 2A B 2. Place the vectors tail to head 3.
