Not everything moves in a perfectly straight line. Some things zig and then zag. In this episode we take a look at the vector addition and you learn a way to organize the vector information you are provided with.(7:45) We also take a look at how to report a resultant vector’s magnitude and direction. (3:35) Finally, we delve into resolving vectors into their component vectors using trigonometry. (6:00)

The Question of the Day asks: (9:28)
