Hi,

I need some help with how to do this. I need to perform an investigation and demonstrate vector addition and subtraction (straight from sylabus; I think).

This is for 8.4.2 Moving About of the Preliminary Course.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could go by doing this, has to be practical, can not use two cars etc...

Thanks

i did an experiment similar to that above.. i used 3 pieces of string and made them move in different directions.. I put some weights of each string to change the force of each string.. then, i did some calculations and investigated and demonstrated vector addition and subtraction..

Ahh okay,
So how did you measure it?
