It's me again with another blog post. So, after about three weeks, we are finally on another unit. Today I will be showing you all about vectors (or at least what we learned so far). Vectors are basically the direction and what magnitude something goes. Magnitude is just how far something goes at a certain direction. The picture I posted is of my sister holding an arrow that reads vector. The arrow represents a vector because it points at what direction it travels. If we were to measure the arrow, we could also measure the magnitude. For example, if the arrow was about 3 inches and the scale reads 1inch= 4miles we can tell that we went a distance of 12 miles to the left (or west if we were pointing in cardinal directions). So that is just the basics of vectors. So I hope you learned something today about both magnitude and vectors.
