Understanding Vector Addition

Vector addition is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering that combines two or more vectors to determine their net effect. Unlike regular numbers, vectors have both magnitude (length) and direction, making their addition more complex than simple arithmetic.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the magnitude (length) of the first vector
  2. Input its angle in degrees (0-360°)
  3. Repeat for the second vector
  4. Click "Calculate Result" to see the resultant vector

Applications

Vector addition is crucial in many fields:

  • Physics - Force calculations and motion analysis
  • Engineering - Structural analysis and design
  • Navigation - Wind and current calculations
  • Computer Graphics - Object movement and animation
