To add two vectors, s+z, simply move the vector z to the end of the vector s.
subtracting vectorsTo find the magnitude and direction of the difference between two vectors, s-z, simply draw a vector from z to sForces are vector quantities. This means they have both a magnitude and direction associated with them. If you add vectors going in the opposite directions it is the same as subtracting one from the other. Therefore, the resultant force is the difference between the forces.
It is necessary to know the magnitude and the direction of the vector.
Mainly because they aren't scalar quantities. A vector in the plane has two components, an x-component and a y-component. If you have the x and y components for each vector, you can add them separately. This is very similar to the addition of scalar quantities; what you can't add directly, of course, is their lengths. Similarly, a vector in space has three components; you can add each of the components separately.
Vector quantities include magnitude and direction.
There is no such thing as scalar and vector forces. However, there are scalar and vector QUANTITIES, and force is a vector quantity, as all forces have direction and magnitude. Scalar quantities, on the other hand, have only magnitude and no direction.
Forces are vector quantities. This means they have both a magnitude and direction associated with them. If you add vectors going in the opposite directions it is the same as subtracting one from the other. Therefore, the resultant force is the difference between the forces.

Element by element. That is: Sum all the first elements to get the first element of the result; Sum all the second elements to get the second element of the result...The vector sum is obtained by adding the two quantities. The vector difference is obtained by subtracting one from the other. Hint: 'sum' always means addition is involved, 'difference' always means subtraction is involved.* * * * *That is the algebraic answer. There is also a geometric answer.To sum vectors a and b, draw vector a. From the tip of vector a, draw vector b. Then a + b is the vector from the base of a to the tip of b. To calculate a - b, instead of drawing b,draw the vector -b, which is a vector of the same magnitude as b but going in the opposite direction.
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
It is necessary to know the magnitude and the direction of the vector.
Yes, it is a vector quantity.
Vector quantities are those that must be described with both a magnitude and direction. Scalar quantities can be described with only a single value.
Scalar quantities are defined as quantities that have only a mganitude. Vector quantities have magnitude and direction. Some example of this include Scalar Vector Mass Weight length Displacement Speed Velocity Energy Acceleration

No. Force and acceleration are vector quantities.
The square of a vector quantity is the vector magnitude times itself without a change in the orientation.
scalar quantities have magnitude only while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. e.g.s of scalar quantities- distance, mass, temperature, speed e.g.s of vector quantities-displacement, velocity, acceleration, weight, force
