What does 'tip-to-tail' mean?
A method of drawing vectors where the head of one arrow starts at the tail of the previous one.
How do you know an object is in equilibrium using a scale drawing?
The vectors will form a closed loop with no gap between the start and end points.
What is the difference between resultant force and resolving a vector?
Finding the resultant is combining many forces into one; resolving is splitting one force into two (horizontal and vertical) components.
Why do we use a scale in physics drawings?
To represent large forces (like 50 Newtons) on a small piece of paper (like 5 cm) so we can use a ruler to measure them accurately.
