Two online calculators to add two vectors are presented. The vectors are either given by their components or theit magnitude and direction. The results of calculations are given by the components of the resultant , and also its magnitude and direction. .
Let u and v be two vectors given in component form by
u = <u1 , u2> and v = <v1 , v2>
The addition of the two vectors u and v above is defined by
u + v = <u1 + v1 , u2 + v2>
Use of the Adding Vectors Calculator
There are two calculators that may be used to add two vectors depending on whether you know the components or the magnitude and directions of the vectors to add.
1 - Enter the components u1, u2 and v1 , v2 of the two vectors u and v respectively as real numbers and press "Add the Two Vectors". The outputs are the components of vector u + v, its magnitude and direction in degrees.
2 - Enter the magnitudes (non negative real) and directions,in degrees, of the two vectors u and v respectively as real numbers and press "Add the Two Vectors". The outputs are the components of vector u + v, its magnitude and direction in degrees.
