This item contains a set of animated slides that demonstrate how to add three vectors using the tip-to-tail method. It is a companion resource to an interactive simulation that takes the user through each step of the same process. SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to the companion simulation.
This item is part of a larger collection of simulation based physics models sponsored by the MAP project (Modular Approach to Physics). Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
