When two or more vectors act on an object, the total effect is the vector sum of each individual vector. This is known as the principle of superposition. The resulting displacement or force on the object is determined by adding the magnitudes and directions of each vector.
When multiple vectors act on an object, each vector exerts its own force on the object independently of the others. The resultant force is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on the object.
If an object takes up more space than another object, it will have a larger volume. This means the object has more capacity to hold substances or occupy a greater area.
The sum of two vectors is called the resultant vector. It is the vector obtained when adding two or more vectors together. The displacement vector is a specific type of vector that represents the change in position of an object.
A resultant Vector.
The combination of two or more vectors results in a new vector known as the resultant vector. This resultant vector is found by adding or subtracting the individual vectors' magnitudes and directions.
When multiple vectors act on an object, each vector exerts its own force on the object independently of the others. The resultant force is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on the object.
A variety of mathematical operations can be performed with and upon vectors. One such operation is the addition of vectors. Two vectors can be added together to determine the result (or resultant). This process of adding two or more vectors has already been discussed in an earlier unit. Recall in our discussion of Newton's laws of motion, that the net force experienced by an object was determined by computing the vector sum of all the individual forces acting upon that object. That is the net force was the result (or resultant) of adding up all the force vectors. During that unit, the rules for summing vectors (such as force vectors) were kept relatively simple. Observe the following summations of two force vectors:
This is just called the "sum". Sometimes also the "resultant vector".

If an object takes up more space than another object, it will have a larger volume. This means the object has more capacity to hold substances or occupy a greater area.
The law is used to add vectors to find the resultant of two or more vectors acting at a point.
The sum of two vectors is called the resultant vector. It is the vector obtained when adding two or more vectors together. The displacement vector is a specific type of vector that represents the change in position of an object.

The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant vector. It represents the combination of all individual vectors acting together.
The sum of 2 or more vectors is called the resultant vector. It is the single vector that represents the combined effect of all the individual vectors added together.
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.
