Introductory Tip-to-Tail Vector Addition Problem
This is a very basic introductory to Tip-to-Tail Vector Addition Problem using a motorized toy car that I made. I don't just talk about it in a general sense, I actually show the different vectors being added together.

The Drop and Upward Throw of a Ball are Very Similar
Previously we determined the motion graphs for dropping a ball from 2.0 meters and throwing a ball up to 2.0 meters and catching it again. In this video I show that the reverse of the drop coupled with the drop itself is the same thing...
