Watch this short demonstration that focuses on a single question: Does the order in which vectors are added together affect the magnitude or the direction of the resultant?

By participating in a group activity, students will learn how to add force vectors. They will see the significance of direction when adding vector quantities.

Analyze graphs that represent vector addition & subtraction. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site offers an interactive application to understand vector addition. The site exemplifies the ability to translate vectors to obtain a resultant.

Forces are responsible for all the interactions between particles and objects. They can be put into two categories: contact forces and non-contact forces. Forces can be added up as vectors.

Applying the forces of wind and/or gravity to a particle system so that the system can apply force to all individual particles. In addition, adding a repeller where all the force vectors have a different direction is illustrated.
