Vector Addition
Vector Addition
one way to add vectors is using the tail to tip method, where the tail (back) of one vector (vector A) is placed at the tip (front) of another vector (vector B). The distance from the tail of Vector A to the tip of vector B is the resultant vector.
In the diagram below, you have vectors AB and CD can be changed by moving points B and D. You can see in the left part that vector CD (red) was placed at the end of Vector AB (Blue). The purple line shows the newly formed sum vector.
What are the components of vector AB? Enter like this: <5,4>
What are the components of vector AB? Enter like this: <5,4>
What are the components of vector EG? Enter like this: <5,4>
Can you create the components of the resultant sum vector using the components of the original 2 vectors? How?
