Vector addition w/pic ?

Question

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=20adwk7&s=4

there 3 pieces

A+B+C

adding them tip to tail thats the picture i came up with

my question is were does the resultant go

i dont think it will fit across A and C or diagonal because that wouldnt be A+B+C

Answer 1

You are correct:

Like this, but in 2D:

A----->B----->C----->

On paper, 2D:

Draw the resultant from the tail of A (-) to the

tip (>) of C. Each vector needs a scaled size

on paper if your plan includes the measurement

of each vectors magnitude.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You need to put the tail of B on the tip of A

The tail of C on the tip of B.

Your answer would then be the new vector that connects:

The tail of A to the tip of C.

Answer 3

A+B+C would be the distance from the beginning of A to the end of C.

make it a good day
