Blog Post #6

This week, we've taken a break from kinematics and have moved on to learning about vectors. A vector is a mathematical quantity with both a direction and a magnitude. In more simplified terms, vectors explain "which way" and "how much". In this picture I've captured two "Equivalent Vectors" (hence the title in brown). To be equivalent, both vectors must be drawn to scale and maintain the same direction. This photo gives an example of two vectors, both 19 cm in length and both pointing in the same direction. Color has absolutely nothing to do with being equivalent, so the fact that one vector is blue and the other is purple doesn't matter. I just wanted to make my picture a little more colorful (: So I swear I haven't looked at anyone else's blog yet, but Mr. Blake, I'm going to bet that I'm not the only one with this idea haha. Being that you told us that taking a picture of arrows was the easiest :p
