Resultant Vector A Level Physics. It is the result of adding two or more vectors together. Any single vector can be represented by two other vectors components which would have the same effect as the original one.
A quantity with magnitude and direction is defined as a vector quantity. Vectors which act in the same direction or whose directions are exactly opposite to each other are easy to add together but you must take account of their directions. The weight of an object velocity and acceleration of a vehicle and the force acting on a bridge are some examples of vector quantity.
Consider the force illustrated in Figure 1.
Three displacement vectors and. Two 5N forces acting to the right add together to give a 10N force acting to the right. XYZ X vector 1 X vector 2 Y1 Y2 Z1 Z2 Where X Y and Z are the coordinate values of the new vector. How to Resolve a Vector.
