    Study Notes

    Materials for Vector Addition

    • Ruler, protractor, graphing paper or bond paper for plotting vectors
    • Color pens or pencils recommended for clarity in graphs

    Graphical Method for Adding Vectors

    • Complete initial table with relevant vector transformations and locations
    • Plot vectors using a scale of 5 m per 1 inch, connecting them head-to-tail
    • Draw the resultant vector by connecting the head of the first vector to the tail of the last
    • Measure the resultant vector's length with a ruler and angle with a protractor
    • Convert measured length back to actual values using scale (e.g., 3.5 in = 17.5 m)
    • Report resultant vector as magnitude and direction; example: R = 17.5 meters, 19° North of East

    Analytical Method for Adding Vectors

    • Compile vectors into x- and y-components for calculation
    • Calculate the total x and y components for resultant vector
