Overview
What Is a Vector Calculator?
This tool performs basic operations on 2D vectors - addition, subtraction, and magnitude calculation.
Add, subtract, and find magnitude of vectors.
Vector A (x, y)
Vector B (x, y)
This tool performs basic operations on 2D vectors - addition, subtraction, and magnitude calculation.
Useful for coursework involving vector quantities like force, velocity, and displacement.
Input x and y values.
Input x and y values.
Choose add or subtract.
Both update automatically.
Add corresponding components: (a,b) + (c,d) = (a+c, b+d).
Magnitude = √(x²+y²), using the Pythagorean theorem.
Physics (force, velocity, displacement), computer graphics, and engineering all use vector mathematics extensively.
Yes, negative components indicate direction (like leftward or downward) and are fully supported.
No, calculations happen entirely in your browser.
This calculator handles 2D vectors - 3D vectors would need a z-component added to the same operations.
The combined effect of adding or subtracting the input vectors, useful for understanding combined forces or displacements.
Mathematically related concepts (both use x,y pairs), though vectors and complex numbers serve different mathematical purposes.
No, this calculator focuses on addition, subtraction, and magnitude - dot product would need separate calculation.
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
