Problem 3.1

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

Five vectors are shown on the coordinate grid (position is given in meters).  You can change the position of a vector by click-dragging at the base of the vector.  Click restart to return the vectors to their original positions. 

1. Rank the x components of the five vectors shown (smallest to largest).
2. Rank the y components of the five vectors shown (smallest to largest).
3. What are the components of the vector that results when Vector B is added to Vector D?
