Vectors: Direction, Unit Vectors & Angles — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 12 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Give exact answers. Write vectors as <a, b> and angles in degrees (0° ≤ θ < 360° for direction angles).
How to solve
The angle between u and v satisfies cos θ = u · v|u||v|. A vector with magnitude m and direction θ is <m cos θ, m sin θ>; the unit vector in the direction of v is v / |v|. Two vectors are perpendicular when u · v = 0.
Example
u = <0, -1> and v = <-5, 1>. Find 3u - v.
