Vectors
Vectors require a magnitude, unit and direction.
E.g. 10 km [N] is a displacement vector
To draw vectors you need to follow the following steps:
1. Indicate in which direction north is (usually up)
2. Indicate the scale you will be using (e.g. 1 cm = 1 km)
3. Draw the vector in the direction indicated using the scale.
Let’s try some together:
5 km [E]
3 km [NW]
Adding Vectors
Collinear vectors on vectors that travel along the same line e.g. north and south east and
west. Can you think of two more collinear vectors?
