Vectors In 1D And 2D Motion

Description
The usual addition, subtraction and multiplication of vectors has been explained by conducting unusual experiments. For example to explain the direction of cross product a potato and a corkscrew has been used. The most striking is the experiment with the projectile. It is a demonstration which very few of us will be able to recreate in an actual classroom.
