Mini-Golf Vector Activity - Adding Multiple Vectors
This fun 50 minute activity is designed to simplify resolving vectors into components and determining the magnitude and direction of the resultant when multiple vectors are added. It is appropriate for on-level up to AP Physics and for a pre-calculus class.Presented as a 9 hole round of mini-golf, students use colored pencils to resolve vectors into x and y components using a grid, add those components to create a resultant and then calculate the magnitude and direction of the resulting vector.
