Problem

A student uses a scale of 1 cm=1 m s−11\,\text{cm}=1\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} to draw two velocity vectors. Vector P is 5 cm long, and Vector Q is 3 cm long. Both arrowheads point towards the north-east direction. (i) Which vector represents the greater speed? (ii) Are Vectors P and Q equal vectors? Give a brief reason.
