on bearing 055 (55º East of North). The term acceleration can refer to a scalar acceleration or an acceleration vector. So far, we have only met scalar acceleration, eg \(5 m\,s^{-2}\).

In problems, vectors may be added together by scale diagram or mathematically. Draw in first vector (\(40m\) east – on your drawing this will be \(8cm\) long). Draw second vector at the end of ...
