Vector Subtraction Practice

You can practice vector subtraction with the applet to the right. Click "Go" to start the applet. Two random vectors are drawn for you to subtract. Click the "Check" button to verify that you have constructed the diagram correctly. If it is not correct, the third (red) vector will disappear and you get another chance. If you do not succeed the second time, the applet will show you the correct construction. You can get a new pair of vectors by again clicking "Go".
