Vector Calculator

Introduction

This tool helps you perform vector operations quickly. You can add, subtract, and compute other functions on two vectors. It is useful for students and engineers who work with vectors.

How to Use This Tool

Follow these steps:

1. Choose the mode. Pick either 2D or 3D vectors.
2. Enter the values for the first vector. Fill in x, y, and, if needed, z.
3. Enter the values for the second vector. Fill in x, y, and, if needed, z.
4. Press the button for the operation you want. Options include addition, subtraction, and more.
5. View the result in the box below. The output shows your answer.

Explanation of Input Fields

The tool has separate fields for each vector.

• Vector 1: Enter the x, y, and z values. If you use 2D mode, you can ignore the z field.
• Vector 2: Enter the x, y, and z values. If you use 2D mode, you can ignore the z field.

The labels guide you on which number goes where. The placeholder text shows what each field needs.

Understanding the Output

The result shows the answer of the selected operation. For example, if you add the two vectors, the output will show the sum. It displays the x, y, and, when in 3D mode, the z components.

Operations such as dot product and angle calculate mathematical measures. They help you understand the relationship between vectors.

Limitations and Special Notes

Use 2D mode to hide the z component. In this mode, the cross product is not available. The tool will show an error if you try to normalize a zero vector. Check your inputs before calculating.

Common Use Cases

This tool serves well in various tasks. Use it for homework or projects in math and engineering. It is helpful for anyone doing physics calculations as well.

Conclusion

The vector calculator offers a clear way to handle vector math. Follow the steps to input values and select an operation. The result is shown immediately. This tool saves time and simplifies vector calculations.
