    The Diagram Shows A Kite in The Air and The Size and Direction of The Forces Which

    Uploaded by

    The document describes a diagram of a kite showing four forces acting on it: a 4.0 N force upward; a 2.0 N force upward; a 3.5 N force upward; and a 3.0 N force sideways. It asks the reader to calculate the resultant upward and sideways forces on the kite, and explains that a scalar quantity is one that has magnitude but no direction while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
