Element by element. That is: Sum all the first elements to get the first element of the result; Sum all the second elements to get the second element of the result...
The vector sum is obtained by adding the two quantities. The vector difference is obtained by subtracting one from the other. Hint: 'sum' always means addition is involved, 'difference' always means subtraction is involved.

That is the algebraic answer. There is also a geometric answer.
To sum vectors a and b, draw vector a. From the tip of vector a, draw vector b. Then a + b is the vector from the base of a to the tip of b. To calculate a - b, instead of drawing b,draw the vector -b, which is a vector of the same magnitude as b but going in the opposite direction.

If the sum of the two unit vectors is also a unit vector find the magnitude of their difference?
resultant
How do you find the vector sum and vector diffirences of two vector quantities?
If a vector is given in component form <x1,y1> and <x2,y2>, then you add or subtract the corresponding components. <x1,y1>+<x2,y2>=<x1+x2,y1+y2>
When sum and difference vector of two vectors are perpendicular .are the vectors too perpendicular?
Yes.
What methods can you use to solve for the sum or difference of integers?
To find the sum of integers, you use addition.To find the difference, you use subtraction.
How the magnitude of vector is equal to 1?
If the sum of the squares of the vector's components is ' 1 ',then the vector's magnitude is ' 1 '.
What represents the vector sum of all vector quantities acting on a single point?
Resultant
If the sum of the two unit vectors is also a unit vector find the magnitude of their difference?
resultant
How do you find the vector sum and vector diffirences of two vector quantities?
If a vector is given in component form <x1,y1> and <x2,y2>, then you add or subtract the corresponding components. <x1,y1>+<x2,y2>=<x1+x2,y1+y2>
How do you represent vector quantities?
Vector magnitude is represented by the square root of the sum of the squares of the independent vector comonents; |V| = (x2 + y2 + z2)1/2.
What is the difference between balanced and unbalaced forces?
The vector sum of a group of forces is zero. The vector sum of a group of forces isn't zero.
When sum and difference vector of two vectors are perpendicular .are the vectors too perpendicular?
Yes.
Every vector can be represented as the sum of its?
A vector is represented as a sum of its parts.
Is resultant a vector quantity?
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?
The vector sum of all of the individual forces in a balanced group of forces is zero. The vector sum of all of the individual forces in an unbalanced group of forces isn't.
Why is net force a vector sum?
Force is a vector, and so the sum of all forces acting on an object is a vector sum.
What quantities sum to zero when a system is in equilibrium?
For equilibrium, two conditions have to be met:* The sum (vector sum) of all forces acting on the object has to be zero (otherwise, it will start to accelerate). * The sum of all torques acting on the object has to be zero (otherwise, it will start to rotate).
What do it mean do find a sum or difference in fraction?
The sum is the answer for adding and the difference is the answer for subtracting...
