03 - Add & Subtract Vectors Using Components, Part 1 (Calculate the Resultant Vector)

Learn how to add vectors using the x-component and y-components of the vector. In order to find the sum of two vectors, simply add the x-components of the two vectors to find the x-component of the resultant.

Then, add the y-components to find the y-component of the resultant. The resultant vector's x and y components have been found, and you can then find the magnitude of the vector and angle (direction) of the vector using trigonometry as usual.

You rock! Why can't people give examples like you? Such a simple thing that makes all the difference is how you think of what we may come across. Thank you!!

this man is a legend. I think I’m ready to tackle my quiz tomorrow. Wish me luck guys!

Thank you so much this is all I needed someone to explain it in a clear and simple way!! I don't understand why some professors make such a simple task seem impossible and so confusing..

Wow...😍😍😍😍😍 The last time I attended class on this topic it was like a trip to Jupiter and back to earth in less than 30 minutes. Thank you so much and May Thee Mighty God bless you and your family. Simplicity, Clarity and Precise are what you used to make me fully understand what really happens on this topic.

This video helped on levels. If you doing IB and you didn't quite get vectors in Topic 1.3 of Physics everything will become clear after watching this video. Thanks a lot man!

Finally a video that I can actually understand, the other YouTube videos explaining this topic couldn't nearly do it as well as you did

I did not enjoy physics at all before finding this channel. Everything I was struggling to understand is just fitting together like a puzzle. Great work and thank you. I might just pass my test in two days..

Those students who is in close contact with this teacher who change my life please be thankfull and use the opportunity we, need this kind of teachers in Namibia

[Deaf_Notes]

This is extremely helpful and easy to follow, amazing teaching

[swadeshtaneja]

Learn math from your lectures 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹

[eerikaa]

Thank you so much for this video! I was stuck for like half an hour not knowing what to do and this really helped me! Subscribing to your channel! :)

[willowillotech]

Thank you, all I can say is: you can turn a dumb student to a genius, I can also mention another professor called Matt Anderson, both of you are super profs 🤛🏽

[MrIzzo]

You just solved my linear algebra and trigonometry problem with this video... thank you

[angelfabian]

I wish my profesor explained like you, thank you 🙏🙏

[ABRIL]

Great video helped me understand everything so clearly!!! Amazing guy!

For anyone confused on 24:21 the inverse tan of (5/2) is 38.05 not 21.80. its either this was an error in my calculation or he must have done a step i missed.

[easy_english]

Thank you teacher, it helped me a lot.

[akasandrico]
