Examples of Vectors
1. Velocity of Car on Race Track
Interpretation of Velocity Vector attributes: At every point of the car’s path we
can draw a velocity vector (arrow) with the following attributes.
a. Direction: direction the car is moving at that point
b. Magnitude: speed of the car at that point
__________________________________________________________
2. Force Due to Gravity
Interpretation of Force Vector attributes: Whenever a
force is applied to an object we can draw a vector with the
following attributes.
a. Direction: direction of the applied force
b. Magnitude: ‘amount’ of force applied ( lbs, newtons,
etc)

3. Vector Field of Wind Velocities
Interpretation of Wind Velocity Vector attributes: At every location on a map we
can draw a vector with the following attributes.
a. Direction: direction the wind is blowing at that location
b. Magnitude: ‘strength’ of wind at that location
