Calculates the sum of two or more vectors. Enter the x and y components of each vector, and the calculator will determine the resultant vector.
Start with your values, or try a preset.
Enter Vector 1 X component, Vector 1 Y component, Vector 2 X component, Vector 2 Y component, Vector 3 X component (optional), and Vector 3 Y component (optional) in the units shown.
Read Resultant Y component, Resultant X component, Resultant Angle (degrees), and Resultant Magnitude in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.
Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
See the inputs and their calculated results.
