A resultant vector is the single vector that has the same effect as the combined action of two or more vectors. It is found by vector addition, which involves summing the components of the vectors being combined.

Vector addition is a fundamental operation in vector algebra that combines two or more vectors to produce a resultant vector. It follows the triangle or parallelogram law, ensuring that the resultant vector maintains both magnitude and direction based on the components of the original vectors.
