Open Stax: Vector Addition and Subtraction: Graphical Methods

Here is a math lab that helps young mathematicians understand the real-life meaning for vector addition. By building a model using spring scales and washers as weight, and then calculating the vector addition using two different methods,...

In this interactive students will begin to understand the rules of vector addition and subtraction using analytical methods. They will apply analytical methods to determine vertical and horizontal component vectors.

Three levels of practice assure scholar mastery of vector addition. After inputting an incorrect answer, another problem replaces it so everyone finds success. The lesson works as one part of a series on vectors and projectiles.

In this interactive module, students will learn how to define and distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. They will assign a coordinate system for a scenario involving one-dimensional motion.

Map the velocity of a thrown football using physics! Learners study vector addition using a football scenario. Two vectors model the movement of the receiver and quarterback while the resulting vector describes the velocity of the...

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.

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.
