  1. Question 1

    Q1. A particle is located at a point P with coordinates (3, 4) in the xy-plane. What is the correct expression for its position vector?

    • A) r = 3i + 4j
    • B) r = 4i + 3j
    • C) r = 7ij
    • D) r = 5(i + j)

    Answer: r = 3i + 4j

    Explanation: The position vector is defined as r = xi + yj. Option B is incorrect because it swaps the unit vectors for the coordinates.
