Adding vectors together

E.g. a man walk 15m north and 8m East determine his displacement and direction
from his point. (1cm = 1m) use ruler

15m

 An object is suspended by 2 ropes on pully with 40N and 15N attached at angles
of 14 deg and 42 deg respectively.
Determine weight of the object.

Draw distance time graph
2. Calculate average velocities for each section
3. Draw a velocity time graph
- Calculate the acceleration (acceleration = change of velocity/time)
