Question

Explain how to correctly add vectors in 2-D

Answer 1

To add vectors we can use the head to tail method (Figure 1).

Place the tail of one vector at the tip of the other vector.

Draw an arrow from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector. This new vector is the sum of the first two vectors.
