A complete lesson/tutorial on vectors. Learn about vector addition, vector resolution, vector components, and resultants. Numerous examples and learning exercises are provided.

Explore adding vectors by dragging objects on a canvas. Adding vectors can be easy with this Vector Guessing Game Interactive. Students can improve their understanding and skill at adding vectors using the head-to-tail method.

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?

Try these vector addition challenges where twenty-five vectors are displayed on a grid. Each challenge involves adding three of the vectors together to determine the resultant. The emphasis of the activity is on component addition.

A lab experiment involving readily available materials. Students analyze three forces acting upon one point to determine the resultant force. Questions and accompanying answers are provided.

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.

In this physics tutorial, students learn how to approach more complex vector addition situations by combining the concept of vector components and the principles of vector resolution with the use of the Pythagorean theorem.

In this physics tutorial, the task of summing vectors will be extended to cases in which the vectors are directed in directions other than purely vertical and horizontal.

This site from NASA provides an excellent tutorial on vectors and their use in physics to describe the motion of objects. Vector addition and resolution are illustrated.

Try this adding vector challenge. Two random vectors are displayed, and students must quickly decide on the size and direction of the resultant. The challenge is to solve as many correctly as possible in 20 seconds. Repeat, and beat your...

In this tutorial, examine the effect of forces acting at angles to the horizontal, such that the force has an influence in two dimensions- horizontally and vertically.

An exceptional tutorial on the topic of vectors that offers many helpful graphics, some of which are interactive.

An interactive Java applet where users can rotate a vector about its tail and view the components of that vector. Magnitude of the components is updated on screen as the vector is dragged.

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.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about adding two vectors together by components in the context of a GPS-style city map. Adjust magnitude and angles in the two vectors to simulate the driverless car. Examples taking this concept...

Background information on vectors and their use in describing motion in two dimensions. A comparison of Aristotle's and Galileo's perspectives on force and motion is given.

A short interactive activity which allows you to visualize the sum of vectors.

A tutorial that describes what a resultant is and how a resultant is determined.

This site, in German, offers numerous apps that illustrate common physics principles. Apps are organized into categories: mechanics, oscillations and waves, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, the theory of relativity, physics of...
