Activity 3: Representation, Addition, and Subtraction of Vectors

Represent the vectors using the scale indicated in each number. Then find the resultant using the graphical method and the mathematical method.

1. Vector A = 20 meters, North and Vector B = 10 meters North
Scale: 1 inch: 2 meters

2. Vector V = 5 m/s, East and Vector Y = 5 m/s, East
Scale: 2 inches: 1 m/s

3. Vector U = 10 km, West and Vector S = 5 km, East
Scale: 1 inch: 1 km
