Fluency Practice

A boat heads due north at 6 m/s. A river current flows due east at 8 m/s. In a head-to-tail vector diagram, which arrow is drawn first?

The river current arrow (8 m/s east)

The resultant arrow

The boat's velocity arrow (6 m/s north)

Either arrow — the order does not matter for addition
