Understanding Vector Addition: Summing Speeds with Precision When combining multiple velocities—such as 1,2 m/s, 1,5 m/s, 1,3 m/s, 1,6 m/s, and 1,4 m/s—scientists and engineers use vector addition to calculate the overall resultant speed. An interesting example is the sum: Summe = 1,2 + 1,5 + 1,3 + 1,6 + 1,4 = 7,0 m/s But what does this number really represent, and why does it equal exactly 7,0 m/s? Let’s explore how vector addition works in this context, why precise summation matters, and how such calculations apply in real-world physics.
