- Vector Addition
Description
Learn how to add vectors. Drag vectors onto a graph, change their length and angle, and sum them together. The magnitude, angle, and components of each vector can be displayed in several formats.
Sample Learning Goals
- Explain vector representations in their own words.
- Convert between the angular form of vectors and the component form.
