Vectors

     This past week in physics we learned about vectors.  A vector is a quantity that involves both direction and magnitude.  The way we add vectors is by measuring from tail to tip.  An example of that in a real life situation is in football.  
     When a receiver runs a route, he is running a vector.  If he runs straight 10 yards, then two yards back then the distance that the ball would travel is 8 yards and thats how to add two vectors together with each other.
