IN TWO DIMENSIONS
 Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is
typically represented by an arrow, the direction and length is
proportional to the quantity’s magnitude.
 Addition of Vectors by Graphical Method

Because vectors are quantities that have direction as well as

magnitude, they must be added in a special way and one method
of this is a tail-to-tip method. This method can be done by these
3-steps:

1. Start by placing any vector with its tail at the origin (starting
point).

2. Placed the tail of an unused vector to the tip of the previous

vector.

3. Find the resultant vector by drawing a straight line from the tail
of the first vector to the tip of the last vector.

 Subtraction of Vectors
Subtraction of vectors can be done in the same way as vector
addition with one simple change. We add the first vector to the
negative of the vector that needs to be subtracted. A negative
vector has the same magnitude as the original but opposite
direction.

 Adding Vectors by Components
Vectors can be expressed in terms of their horizontal and
vertical in terms of their horizontal and vertical components which is
x and y axes respectively and another way to add vectors is to
expressed both of them in terms of their horizontal and vertical
components and then add the components together and to find the
resultant, use the Pythagorean theorem.

 Projectile Motion
A projectile motion is a motion which the only force acting is
gravity, common example of projectile is when an object thrown
upward at an angle to the horizontal provided that the influence of
air resistance is negligible.
