what is resultant vector

A resultant vector is the vector sum of two or more individual vectors. It is obtained by adding two or more vectors together. For example, if displacement vectors A, B, and C are added together, the result will be vector R, which is the resultant vector. The resultant vector is used to represent the combined effect of the individual vectors. It can be determined using vector addition and has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the resultant vector is the length of the vector, and the direction is the angle it makes with a reference axis, often the positive x-axis
