Vectors P and Q are drawn to scale. Which diagram represents the vector (P + Q)? [Figure 4.1]
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Adiagram showing vector P followed by vector Q (tail to head), with the resultant vector from the tail of P to the head of Q.
Bdiagram showing vector Q followed by vector P (tail to head), with the resultant vector from the tail of Q to the head of P.
Cdiagram showing vectors P and Q with their tails joined, and a third vector from the head of Q to the head of P.
Ddiagram showing vectors P and Q with their tails joined, and a third vector from the head of P to the head of Q.
✓ Correct answer
A: diagram showing vector P followed by vector Q (tail to head), with the resultant vector from the tail of P to the head of Q.
