Subtracting vectors gives the change or the difference.
The arrows of the vector triangle are drawn tail-to-tail.
Subtracting velocities will give the change in velocity
In order to calculate the resultant of the following three vectors,
you have to resolve the vector into their horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal component of the resultant is 9cos60° - 4cos40° newtons to the right. The vertical component of the resultant is (9sin60° + 4sin40°) - 5 newtons upwards.
