One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

Unit 1 Segment D: Vectors and Scalars A marching band helps us explore the difference between vector and scalar quantities. We also dive into how to use the tip-to-tail method to resolve one and ...
