Vectors

Vector- has magnitude and direction

Resultant vector-
is the "sum" of several vectors; the effect of the resultant vector is always greater than the effect of its individual components.

Concurrent vectors- it is the act on the same point at the same time

Equilibrant vector- a vector that produces equilibrium; it is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resultant vector
