Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop too sure

brought to you by arrows When we were in the

00:08

second grade no one told us that drawing arrows would

00:10

be a part of math On second thought maybe it's

00:12

because they didn't want us playing with sharp things I

00:15

have something to check out the following diagram right here

00:18

What is the resulting vector If the two vectors above

00:22

are added adding vectors and hear the potential answer to

00:27

this Yeah Okay Well adding vector diagrams like these might

00:33

look intimidating at first After all how do we add

00:36

an arrow to another arrow Well but it's easier than

00:40

it looked We just place the vectors tip to tail

00:43

and draw a line to complete the shape All right

00:46

looks like this And even if we were to set

00:48

up our diagram differently with vector two on the bottom

00:51

the answer would be the same that's Because like any

00:54

other edition problem a plus b is equal to b

00:57

plus eh So no matter what order we put him

00:59

in when we adam up the total vector will be

01:02

the same So the correct answer is c maybe mrs

01:05

williams should have told us about vectors to We would

01:07

have understood what she was talking about back then but

01:09

at least would have been getting yelled at for eating 00:01:12.109 --> [endTime] paste
