Vector Addition & Subtraction
Vector addition
• A resultant vector is a single vector which produces the same
effect ( in both magnitude and direction) as the vector sum of
two or more vectors.
• 2 methods of vector addition :
graphical method - head to tail / tip to tail
- parallelogram
calculation /algebraically (component method)
• Vector addition obeys commutative, associative and distributive
laws
