If one angle in a right triangle measures 40°, what are the other two angles?
50° and 90°
200
Given the terms distance, displacement, speed, and velocity, which are vectors?
Displacement and velocity are vectors (despite the fact that the Reference Tables use the letter “d” for both distance and displacement).

How many Significant figures does the value 1000.00 have?
6
400
Consider two force vectors acting concurrently. What angle between them would produce the greatest resultant?
0 degrees (no angle)
This means both vectors are acting in the same direction.
