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.

What is parallelogram method?

The parallelogram method is a graphical technique used in vector addition. It involves constructing a parallelogram using the two vectors to be added, with the diagonal of the parallelogram representing the resultant vector. The magnitude and direction of the resultant vector can be determined from the properties of the parallelogram.


What two methods can you use when solving vector addition?

You can use the graphical method, which involves drawing vectors on a coordinate system and adding them tip-to-tail to find the resultant vector. Alternatively, you can use the component method, breaking each vector into its horizontal and vertical components and adding them separately to find the resultant vector.


What is head to tail rule?

The head-to-tail rule is a method used in vector addition where vectors are added tip-to-tail. This involves placing the tail of one vector to the head of the other vector in order to determine the resultant vector. The resultant vector is then the vector that connects the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector in the series.


When solving vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or the what?

Trigonometry Method. (Resolve the forces along one plane, and then again in a perpendicular plane using cos or sin function. Then use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the hypotenuse (a2+b2=c2). Then use 'Soh Cah Toa' to work out the correct angle of the resultant Force.
