The vector obtained by adding two or more vectors is called:
Correct answer: C. Resultant vector
- A. Product vector
- B. Sum vector
- C. Resultant vector
- D. Final vector
Explanation
When you add two or more vectors together, you're combining their effects to find a single vector that represents the overall effect or sum of those individual vectors. This resulting vector is referred to as the 'resultant vector.' It encapsulates the combined impact of all the initial vectors in terms of both magnitude and direction.

About Addition of Vectors
Vector addition combines directed quantities using the head-to-tail, parallelogram and component methods. Work includes finding the resultant magnitude and direction for two or more vectors, resolving vectors into perpendicular components, and distinguishing vector addition from scalar addition, where direction has no role.
