Adding Vectors (Mathematically and Graphically) - A Level Physics

This video explains adding vectors, both mathematically and graphically for A Level Physics.

The resultant of two (or more) vectors is the single vector that produces the same effect. Adding vectors, sometimes called combining vectors, mathematically we use Pythagoras' theorem and SOH-CAH-TOA to combine two vectors that are perpendicular into one resultant vector. Adding or combining vectors graphically must be done as accurately as possible. We set a scale such that the size of a vector is proportional to its length and the angles between them must be done accurately.
