Rules for Vector Addition:

This guide outlines the essential rules for vector addition, emphasizing that vectors must be added "head to tail" and can be relocated without altering their magnitude or direction. The order of addition is inconsequential to the result. It also clarifies the concept of component vectors, which are perpendicular vectors that sum to form a resultant vector. Through this framework, we aim to provide a clear understanding of how vectors interact and how to identify their components in practical applications.

  1. Rules for Vector Addition:

  2. Rules for Vector Addition:1. Vectors must be added “Head to Tail”.Ex:

  3. Rules for Vector Addition:1. Vectors must be added “Head to Tail”.Ex: 2. Vectors may be moved (re-located), but their magnitude (length) and direction may not be changed.

  4. Rules for Vector Addition:1. Vectors must be added “Head to Tail”.Ex: 2. Vectors may be moved (re-located), but their magnitude (length) and direction may not be changed. 3. The order in which vectors are added does not matter.

  5. The following are examples of COMPONENTS:Red and Green are components of the Black resultant vectorin each of the examples below:

  6. The following are non-examples of COMPONENTS:Red and Green are NOT components of the Black vectorin each of the examples below:

  7. Define COMPONENT vectors based on the previous examples and non-examples:

  8. COMPONENT vectors are two vectors, at right angles to one another, which sum to yield the resultant.

  9. The following are examples of COMPONENTS:Red and Green are components of the Black resultant vectorin each of the examples below:
