.. Cultiplying or dividing vectors by scalars can be described as scaling, and results in a new scalar or a new vector? , new vector =longer or shorter than the first, but in the same direction. +. What are the ma/imum and minimum amplitudes for two velocity vectors if one is +) m(s and another is ) m(s? ,s the direction is not specified, you can place them in line with each other and "ust add for the ma/imum and subtract for the minimum depending if the are pointing the same direction or the opposite direction. 1. 2o graphically add vectors together, one can use the head to tail technique or the parallelogram technique. In the last you complete the _parallelogram_ and draw the resultant vector from the __verte/___ to the opposite corner.
