- emsy 7y agoMy teachers were terrible at explaining that concept. In retrospect they did more damage than good with their explanation. It also doesn't help that vectors are introduced much later in math than mechanics in physics(at least where I live).
- chongli 7y agoYes and that it’s more properly ΣF = ma. A lot of students forget that it’s the sum of the force vectors, not just a single force, when they’re first learning physics.
