Instead, we'll rely on a system of reference points everyone can agree on.

We can't really use a math system (since they usually assign any old line as a reference point), or a navigation method (since they assign a reference point for no good reason).

We need a system that we can use to give the direction these vectors are pointing in.

Any time you are adding vectors together, you are trying to find this resultant, a vector that shows what all of the others would result in if put together.

This is the same as the one vector that we drew in the example above.

The one vector that represents all the other vectors is called a resultant vector. list of physics formulas class 11 chapter Unit dimension & vector.

We are only concerned with the initial and final positions. We don’t pay attention to all the extra moving around that was done.Being able to translate between the two representations is.

It still results in the same thing… moving from d 1 to d 2. Vectors can be expressed in terms of their magnitude and direction or in terms of their components.What if there were a bunch of vectors going from d 1 to d 2? A vector can be represented as the sum of two perpendicular vector components.
