can anyone show me how 860g @ 50 degrees North of East would look like on a graph?
I don't understand what "north of east" means.
Thanks a lot

A vector is a mathematical object that represents both magnitude (size) and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow and can be used to describe physical quantities such as velocity, force, and displacement.
Unlike a scalar, which only has magnitude, a vector has both magnitude and direction. Scalars are represented by single numbers, while vectors are represented by both magnitude and direction, often using coordinates or angles.
The basic operations of vectors include addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and dot (or scalar) product. These operations allow for the manipulation and analysis of vectors in mathematical equations and physical applications.
Vectors are used in many real-life applications, such as navigation, engineering, and physics. They can be used to represent forces, velocities, and other physical quantities, and are essential in understanding the motion and interactions of objects in the physical world.
Yes, vectors can be combined using vector addition and broken down into smaller parts using vector decomposition. This allows for the analysis and manipulation of more complex vector quantities in mathematical equations and real-life applications.
