Year 11 vectors multiple choice questions: the 10 questions
The vector from A to B is written
Start then end.
\(\begin{pmatrix}2\\3\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}4\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\)
Add each row.
\(3\begin{pmatrix}2\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\)
Multiply both.
The magnitude of \(\begin{pmatrix}6\\8\end{pmatrix}\) is
sqrt(36+64).
\(\overrightarrow{AB}=\)
End minus start (with OA=a, OB=b).
Two vectors are parallel when
Scalar multiple.
\(A(2,1)\), \(B(6,4)\). \(\overrightarrow{AB}=\)
End minus start.
\(\overrightarrow{BA}\) equals
Opposite direction.
(Higher) To prove three points are collinear you show
Multiple and common point.
(Higher) M is the midpoint of AB, with OA = a and OB = b. \(\overrightarrow{OM}=\)
Average of the position vectors.
How to use these Year 11 vectors multiple choice questions
First, read each question carefully before you look at the four answers. Then work the answer out on paper, so that you do not simply guess. After that, read the explanation, even when you are right. If you score less than 7 out of 10, go back to the vectors lesson.
Finally, practise more with the vectors worksheet and the quiz. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
