When you add vectors graphically you draw arrows to represent the vectors How do you know how long to draw the arrows?

To know the Length of the Vector represented on the graph you have to first know the unit you are representing on it. Say the Vector being represented is a distance of 3 Km, You would have to first create a scale for the graph showing a shortened version of it. (Ex. 1Cm=.5km)
______________
The length of the arrow is in proportion to the force that the vector exerts on the body.

How do you add two or more vectors?
Vectors are represented by arrows. They represent something that has magnitude, expressed by the length of the arrow, and direction shown by the direction the arrow head points away from the reference system. Vector addition is really quite simple. Make sure all vectors of interest use the same units of magnitude. Pick a vector and place the tail of the arrow on the intersection of the reference system. Do not change it's direction or magnitude. Take the next vector you wish to add and place the tail at the tip of the arrow of the first vector. Again, do not change either direction or magnitude. Do this with all vectors you wish to add. Remember, NEVER CHANGE MAGNITUDE OR DIRECTION. When you draw a new vector from the origin of the reference to the tip of the last vector in the chain of vectors being added, the new vector is the sum of all the vectors in the chain.
What is the rule for adding vectors?
The general rule for adding vectors is to hook them together "head to tail" and then draw in a resultant vector. The resultant will have the magnitude and direction that represents the sum of the two vectors that were added.
How do you add vectors that are perpendicular?
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 do you prove using a diagram that the magnitude of the sum of two vectors is less than or equal to the sum of the magnitude of the two vectors?
You could draw a circle [center at origin] with radius of (a + b), for the two magnitudes a and b. This represents the sum of the magnitudes. Then draw one of the vectors starting at the origin [suppose it's vector a], and then draw a circle centered at the endpoint of vector a, with a radius of b. Drawing a circle demonstrates how the second vector can point in any direction relative to the first vector. The distance from the origin to a point on this second circle is the magnitude of the resultant vector. Graphically this second circle will be entirely inside the first circle and touching it at just one point. Since it lies within the first circle, the distance from the origin to a point on that circle will be less than or equal to the radius of the first circle.
When adding vectors simply draw and label the given information for what kind of solution?
That's a graphical solution.
Are there forces on the pen?
If yes, draw the forces. You may use arrows to represent these forces.
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant. if not can three vectors be so combined?
You should try to visualize this yourself. Draw arrows, representing vectors, on paper; draw them head-to-tail. Try to make the head of the last arrow return to the tail of the first one. The answer is no, and yes.
How do you graph y equals 6?
Draw the x and y axises. Draw 6 tic marks to represent "6." Draw a horizontal line right through with arrows (< and >) at the end to represent that it is constant.
Are the forces acting on the pen?
If yes, draw the forces. You may use arrows to represent these forces.
Why the current sum up to zero in neutral of a balanced load prove?
Draw three phasors (vectors) at 120o with each other, with each the same length. Now, vectorially add those phasors graphically -you will see that they cancel.
How do you draw linear independence vectors?
Draw them at right angles to each other.

Arrow
How do you make a free body diagram model for a science project?
You need to think about all the forces that act on each relevant objects. Then you draw arrows to represent those forces.
Are there force acting on the pen?
If yes, draw the forces. You may use arrows to represent these forces.
