When handwriting vectors, you must add arrows, etc. to indicate vector notation
1. You record the position of a moving object on a large planar surface as r = (2+1) i-² j (m), where
t is in s. At t = 2 s, what is the magnitude of v and a, and what angle do they make with the +x
direction? Include vector diagrams for both.
Imagine you have an elastic band. You place the band on a table and stretch it by pulling
both ends. Can you prove that some point on the band has remained in its original position.
How?
Hint: Imagine that the band before you stretch it, is placed along the interval [a,b] on a
imagined x-axis
