[OpenStax College Physics 2e: Two-dimensional kinematics] Two-dimensional motion: Vector addition and subtraction

Vector addition and subtraction: graphical methods

Select the true statements from below.

In the head-to-tail method, we call the starting point of the arrow representing the vector the tail and the tip of the arrow the head.

When vectors are added or subtracted, the order in which they are arranged does not matter, i.e., they are commutative under addition and subtraction.

Graphically adding vectors using a ruler and protractor is only applicable when adding exactly two vectors.
