Resultants

A resultant is a single vector that represents the combined effect of multiple vectors acting at a point. Think of it as the overall direction and magnitude you would get if you could "add up" all the individual forces or movements. For example, if two people push a box in different directions, the resultant is the single force that has the same overall effect as both pushes combined. It helps us understand and analyze complex systems by simplifying multiple influences into one, making it easier to predict the outcome of their combined effect.
