Displacement and Force in Two Dimensions-1

This document is a worksheet from a Grade 9 physics class on displacement and force in two dimensions. It contains 8 multiple choice questions testing concepts such as: 1) Calculating the resultant and equilibrant of two forces acting on an object 2) Graphically adding vectors using the tip-to-tail method 3) Using the law of cosines and finding vector components 4) Determining the quadrant a vector lies in based on its horizontal and vertical components 5) Calculating angles between vectors and axes 6) Identifying that kinetic friction depends on the normal force
