2) Below are groups of resultant vectors (R) paired with a single component (A). Sketch the missing
vector that when added to vector A would produce the resultant.
Steps for adding vectors using head and tail method
1. Choose a _________ and indicate it on a sheet of paper. The best choice of scale is one that will
result in a diagram that is as large as possible, yet fits on the sheet of paper.
2. Pick a starting location and draw the first vector to scale in the indicated direction. Label the
magnitude and direction of the scale on the diagram (e.g., SCALE: 1 cm = 20 m).
3. Starting from where the head of the first vector ________, draw the second vector to scale in the
indicated direction. Label the magnitude and direction of this vector on the diagram.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all vectors that are to be added
5. Draw the _____________ from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector. Label this
vector as Resultant or simply R.

3) Bill is sitting on a tree limb that is 4 meters above the ground with a bucket of water. He wants to
dump the water so that it falls on his friend Tim who is approaching on a bike at a constant speed of 8
meters per second. How far away should Tim be from a point directly under Bill when Bill dumps the
water?
This is more challenging, but its not THAT hard! You need to separate your system into horizontal
and vertical parts. You also need to realize that in the horizontal part, Tim moves at a constant speed,
but the water dropped by Bill will accelerate. Other than that, everything else is the same and time is
again the crossover variable
