Com Padre Digital Library: Open Source Physics: Vector Addition Model
This Java applet simulation explores vector addition of two vectors in two dimensions. Given the magnitude and direction, students must determine the vector components.
University of Colorado
University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Vector Addition
Learn how to add vectors. Drag vectors onto a graph, change their length and angle, and sum them together. The magnitude, angle, and components of each vector can be displayed in several formats.
