Divide the vectors into horizontal and vertical components (or components in three dimensions). Add the components together for the different vectors. Convert the resultant vector back to polar coordinates, if need be. Note: Most scientific calculators have a special function to convert from polar coordinates (distance and angle) to rectangular coordinates (x and y coordinates), and back. If your calculator has such a function, using it will save you a lot of work.

When solving vector addition problem you can either the graphical method or the?
analytical method.
When solving vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or the .?
analytical method.
When do you need to use component method for vector addition?
when the vectors are not all pointing in the same direction
Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?
It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A.For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is equivalent to the addition of (-B) with A, i.e. A-B = A+(-B).
How will you get the third vector if the 1st and 2nd vector was given and the resultant vector is equal to 0?
by method of finding resultant
When solving vector addition problem you can either the graphical method or the?

When solving a vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or?
analytical method.
When solving vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or the .?
analytical method.
When drawing a vector using the triangle method of addition how do you draw in the resultant vector?
When drawing a vector using the triangle method you will draw in the resultant vector using Pythagorean theorem. This is taught in physics.
The correct answer using the graphical method and analytical method of vector addition will always be identical?
A. True
What is the opposite to vector addition?
the opposite to vector addition is vector subtraction.
When do you need to use component method for vector addition?
when the vectors are not all pointing in the same direction
What is the reverse process of vectors addition?
reverse process of vector addition is vector resolution.
Why is Vector resolution the opposite of vector addition?
Vector addition derives a new vector from two or more vectors, and vector resolution is breaking a vector down into its two or more components.
Two or more velocities can be combined by?
Velocity is a vector quantity(it has a direction). Simply use the vector adding method to combine velocities.
Is it necessary that every vector has to obey the law of vector addition?
Yes.
What is the example of head to tail rule?
In addition of vector when vector A whose head is joined to the tail of the vector B and then the tail of the vector A is linked with the tail of the resultant vector and the head of the vector B is joined with the head of the resultant vector..... it means the addition of vectors are also defined the head to tail rule..
