Vectors are Proven in a 2015 Water Balloon Lab Not only do people not know what a vector is, but they also do not realize that vectors are used in everyday life. Vectors include magnitude and direction, without one or the other it would not be a vector. Several components make up a vector; these items are displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. By finding the components one can find the horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, initial velocity, and maximum height. Physic equations can be used to help solve these problems. One important aspect that is known to affect vectors is an angle. Angles can help create and show the results of a vector, especially if something were to be released in place of that vector.

Most people do not know what a vector is without realizing they can be used in everyday experiences. In the end of the experiment and calculations, the students concluded the type of errors they had played a role in having accurate results. Even though they had completely wrong calculations, they learned that the angle of a vector can be very important in determining time, range, horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, initial velocity, and maximum height. Their research definitely fell short in calculating their data and keeping things accurate. They did not have one person stick to one job the whole entire experiment. Each job was covered by each person, which adds a variety on how things are done. As the students were concluding their experiment they realized they could have had just one person stick to a certain job and have a better understanding on measuring the angles. When they came to an agreement, they all thought that their angles were off a lot along with some distance measurements. These young physicists in training have a lot of work to do on their experiments, but they experienced how vectors are used on a daily basis and how important they
