Displacement Vectors

The purpose of this activity is to present you with four different displacement vectors. You will then graph these displacement vectors one-by-one and determine the resultant (total displacement from start to finish). Rearrange the vectors to get the same displacement vectors in a different order. Graph these displacement vectors one-by-one and determine their resultant. Then, determine if the order in which the displacement vectors are added together affects the value of the resultant.
