Can someone please explain to me how to add and resolve vectors? I've never fully understood the concept :(

It would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Great! A good understanding of vectors is essential to a good understanding of Physics. Although vectors are just quantities that have magnitude, units, and direction, they are often not all that easy to understand and manipulate.
