Flashcards
Glossary
- A quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
- Vectors that lie in the same plane.
Theoretical Content
Core theory from trusted sources:
is the process of combining two or more vectors to produce a resultant vector. This can be done graphically by placing the tail of one vector at the head of another and drawing the resultant from the tail of the first to the head of the last. is similar to addition, but involves reversing the direction of the vector being subtracted before combining.Vocabulary Exercises
