I assume you mean adding vectors?
Graphical: Draw them head-to-tail. Move the vectors around without rotating them.
Analytically: Separate the vectors into components. For example, in two dimensions, separate them into x and y components. Add the numbers for each dimension.

What is the difference between vectors and non-vectors?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Two vectors which do not lie along the same line represent what kind of motion?
Two-dimensional motion
When are magnitudes of two vectors added?
when the vectors have the same direction
What is complainer vector?
Coplanar vectors are vectors lying in the same plane.
What is the difference between coplanar and non-coplanar?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
What is the difference between vectors and non-vectors?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Which represents one dimensional motion?
Two vectors that lie along the same line-apex
Can three vectors not in one plane give zero resultant?
No. For three vectors they must all lie in the same plane. Consider 2 vectors first. For them to resolve to zero, they must be in opposite direction and equal magnitude. So they will lie along the same line. For 3 vectors: take two of them. Any two vectors will lie in the same plane, and their resultant vector will also lie in that plane. Find the resultant of the first two vectors, and the third vector must be along the same line (equal magnitude, opposite direction), in order to result to zero. Since the third vector is along the same line as the resultant vector of the first two, then it must be in the same plane as the resultant of the first two. Therefore it lies in the same plane as the first two.
Two vectors which do not lie along the same line represent what kind of motion?
Two-dimensional motion
He vector sum of three vectors gives a zero resultant what can be orientation of the vectors?
The orientation of the three vectors that sum to zero must be coplanar, contained in the same common plane, including being contained in a common line in a plane.
What is the difference between coplanar and non-coplanar vectors?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Is direction is important for equal vectors?
Equal vectors are vectors having same direction of action or orientation as well as same magnitude. If two or more vectors have same magnitude but different direction then they cannot be called equal vectors. This shows that direction is important for equal vectors.
When are magnitudes of vectors added?
when the vectors have the same direction
When are magnitudes of two vectors added?
when the vectors have the same direction
What is complainer vector?
Coplanar vectors are vectors lying in the same plane.
What is the difference between coplanar and non-coplanar?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitudes of the sum of these two vectors?
only if the vectors have the same direction
