Physics 9-24-20 Graphical Vector Addition

PHYSICS – Hey guys, great job today drawing motion with vectors – graphical vector addition, resultants, and the like. Have you done anything like this before?

A couple of super important things – GRAPH PAPER(!) and sketch it out before you start so you’ll know where to place the first vector with out running off the page. Also, graphical addition is adding vectors head to tail – then the resultant is found from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector. Get the direction by measuring from the tail of the resultant.
