Force is a push or pull and is a vector quantity.

Force is measured in Newtons


(N). Velocity, acceleration, displacement and force are vector quantities because
they have both magnitude and direction. They can be shown by vectors

A line with an arrowhead is a vector

1. Adding forces. (Concurrent forces)

When you have a force of 10 newtons and a force of 7 newtons both pulling east
( same direction)

Add your forces together to get the resultant

17N
Rules: Vectors in the same direction you add to find resultant.
The angle is 0 degrees
It gives the largest resultant Maxresultant

2. Subtracting forces ( concurrent forces) and


addinga
When you have a force of 10 N and a force of 7 N both pulling in opposite
directions, you subtract forces.

3N
Rules: Vectors in opposite directions you subtract to find the resultant.
180 degree angle between them
You get the smallest resultant minresultant

3.Vectors that form a 90 degree angle


Rules: Vectors at a 90 degree angle to find the resultant

Angle between them is 90 degrees

The smaller the angle between the vectors , the bigger the resultant. The bigger
the angle between two vectors , the smaller the resultant.

Given two vectors 5N and 12 N
