Verify that the x component of the sum adds up to the sum of the x components of the individual vectors and the y component of the sum adds up to the y components of the individual vectors. 

 

M3-1 Do at Home
If you are adding two vectors, as shown below (C = A+ B), the x
component of the sum (C,) is the sum of the x components for the
two vectors being added. In other words C, =A, +B,. Verify this
in the simulation (the simulation uses s for the summation vector)
For your report, document your observations-do the sums match?
