To find the sum of two vectors, you add their corresponding components together. For example, if you have two vectors A = (3, 5) and B = (2, -1), the sum would be A + B = (3 + 2, 5 + (-1)) = (5, 4).
The combined displacement vector would be 8 meters in the same direction as the individual vectors, as you simply add the magnitudes of the vectors together.
The three types of vectors are position vectors, displacement vectors, and force vectors. Position vectors represent the position of a point in space relative to a reference point, displacement vectors represent the change in position of an object, and force vectors represent the interaction between objects that can cause acceleration.
The magnitudes of two vectors are added when the vectors are parallel to each other. In this case, the magnitude of the sum is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors.
