Vector Addition Explained
Adding vectors involves finding a vector that represents the sum of two other vectors. Given two vectors A and B, the addition A + B is performed as follows:
- Vector A: ⟨Ax, Ay, Az⟩
- Vector B: ⟨Bx, By, Bz⟩
- Add the X-components: Ax + Bx = Resultx
- Add the Y-components: Ay + By = Resulty
- Add the Z-components: Az + Bz = Resultz
The resultant vector after addition will be: ⟨Resultx, Resulty, Resultz⟩.
