Why is my drawing wrong?
What app are you using to make color drawings?

 

[MathLover1]

your drawing is acceptable, but when you have velocity then is normal to use Vx and Vy components

In terms of math and physics, is velocity the same as speed?

 

[MathLover1]

Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement. So, the magnitude of a velocity vector gives the speed of an object while the vector direction gives its direction.

I really have to understand this stuff if I am to be successful in Calculus lll.
