Vectors can be added graphically: draw one vector on paper, move the other so that its tail coincides with the head of the first.
Vectors can also be added by components. Just add the corresponding components together. For example, if one vector is (10, 0) and the other is (0, 5) (those two would be perpendicular), the combined vector is (10+ 0, 0 + 5), that is, (10, 5). Such a vector can also be converted to polar coordinates, that is, a length and an angle; use the "rectangular to polar" conversion on your scientific calculator to do that.

How would you add two vectors that are not perpendicular or parallel?
To add two vectors that aren't parallel or perpindicular you resolve both of the planes displacement vectors into "x' and "y" components and then add the components together. (parallelogram technique graphically)
When sum and difference vector of two vectors are perpendicular .are the vectors too perpendicular?
Yes.

A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.
What is the difference between orthogonal and orthonormal vectors?
All vectors that are perpendicular (their dot product is zero) are orthogonal vectors.Orthonormal vectors are orthogonal unit vectors. Vectors are only orthonormal if they are both perpendicular have have a length of 1.

Is the sum and difference of two perpendicular vectors have same lengyhs and also perpendicular to each other?
The sum and difference of two perpendicular vectors are the same in length, but are not perpendicular unless the vectors are the same size. If they are the same size they are perpendicular, other wise they are not perpendicular.
A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.
When are vectors said to be perpendicular?
Perpendicular means that the angle between the two vectors is 90 degrees - a right angle. If you have the vectors as components, just take the dot product - if the dot product is zero, that means either that the vectors are perpendicular, or that one of the vectors has a magnitude of zero.
What is the difference between orthogonal and orthonormal vectors?
All vectors that are perpendicular (their dot product is zero) are orthogonal vectors.Orthonormal vectors are orthogonal unit vectors. Vectors are only orthonormal if they are both perpendicular have have a length of 1.
Why do non-perpendicular vectors need to be resolved into components before you can add the vectors together?
Nonperpendicular vectors need to be resolved into components because the Pythagorean theorem and the tangent function can be applied only to right triangles.
Dot product of two perpendicular vectors?
Zero.
Real life example of two perpendicular vectors?
Dropping a bullet and shooting a bullet at the same time. They will touch the ground at the same time because they are perpendicular vectors.
What are physical examples of vectors which are perpendicular to their derivatives?
a balloona star
What is the dot product of two perpendicular vectors?
zero is the answer
