Let us discover how we geometrically add any 2 vectors.
How to Use :
- Determine the components of vectors u and v by using the purple and green sliders. Slide the black slider (bottom right) to geometrically form vectors
- Slide the black slider (bottom right) to geometrically form vectors u and v.
- Move the YELLOW POINT (initial point of v) ON TOP OF the ORANGE POINT (terminal point of u). Slide the additional slider that appears once you complete the previous step The vector that appears will be the the
- Slide the additional slider that appears. The vector that appears will be the the RESULTANT VECTOR.
- In this case, the RESULTANT VECTOR is the sum of vectors u and v.
