Is it possible to add more than 2 vectors together?

There is more than one correct answer.

A: You can ONLY combine two vectors in the horizontal and vertical axis

B: Combining more than 2 vectors won’t give anything meaningful

C: You can combine multiple vectors to find the result vector

Correct answers: C and D. It is in fact possible to add as many vectors as you want. To do so you must use the “tip-to-tail” method in which you place the tip of the vector at the tail of any other vector. Once completed for all vectors, connect the initial vector to the final vector to form the “resultant vector.” Answer A is not fully correct, because it is possible that multiple vectors can be added together to form a result vector, which has both x and y components.

D: It is possible to combine multiple vectors using the tip to tail method
