This week in Physics, we learned about Vectors. Vectors are quantities that deal with both direction and magnitude (amount). During a lab we did during class, we were able to conclude that an example of everyday vectors is football plays. As the receivers make runs and cuts, they act as vectors. We also learned how to add vectors. Vectors may be added by connecting the tail of one vector, to the tip of the other. A "Resultant" vector is the answer or the measurement from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector. The picture below is a fireworks show in Waikiki. I believe its an example of a vector because it shoots up in to the sky then bursts into numerous embers. Its resultant can be measured from where it is shot all the way to where its fire runs out.
