Want this question answered?
parallelogram method is a common way of adding two vectors
order of placement ( addition ) does NOTmatter
The tail-to-tip method is used when adding vectors on a graph. With the tip-to-tail method you must place the tail of B so that it touches the tip of A.
a good one is I wanted a dessert but i had to digest my dinner properly first
Numerical value and direction
parallelogram method is a common way of adding two vectors
when the vectors are not all pointing in the same direction
The related question has a nice detail of this. Each vector is resolved into component vectors. For 2-dimensions, it is an x-component and a y-component. Then the respective components are added. These added components make up the resultant vector.
order of placement ( addition ) does NOTmatter
1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector. 2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the different vectors.
No. The order of adding vectors does not affect the magnitude or direction. of the result.
1) Separate the vectors into components (if they are not already expressed as components). 2) Add each of the components separately. 3) If required, convert the vectors back to some other form. For twodimensional vectors, that would polar form.

it depends on the method of subtraction. If the vectors are drawn graphically then you must add the negative of the second vector (same magnitude, different direction) tail to tip with the first vector. If the drawing is to scale, then the resultant vector is the difference. If you are subtracting two vectors <x1, y1> - <x2, y2> then you can subtract them component by component just like scalars. The same rules apply to 3-dimensional vectors

The method in adding vectors is "add like components to likes".For example A= Ia1 + Ja2 + Ka3 and B= Ib1 + Jb2 + Kb3 added is :A+B= I(a1 +b1) + J(a2 + b2) + K(a3 + b3).I, J and K are the vector components.Physics really involves vectors V and scalars S called Quaternions Q=S +V.The method is the same but now likes include vectors and scalars.Q1 + Q2 = (S1 +S2) + (V1 + V2).
To find the __________ solution when adding vectors, simply draw and label the given information..... graphical.
