This interactive web-based homework problem takes introductory physics students through a step-by-step process of how to visualize and calculate vector subtraction. It is designed as a problem requiring analysis and student response, with immediate feedback for both correct and incorrect responses. Learners do a guided conceptual analysis before attempting the mathematics.
This item is part of a larger collection of interactive physics problems. See Related items on this page for a link to the full collection. Editor's Note: This problem could be ideal for students who are struggling with vector calculation or who have had little or no background in vector concepts. It is appropriate for both Physics First and algebra-based high school physics courses.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Kinematics: The Physics of Motion
Unit Title: Vectors This online interactive problem was developed by a physics professor to give students guided practice in subtracting vectors. Immediate feedback is given for both correct and incorrect responses. Link to Unit:
