Two vectors placed head-to-tail with the resultant drawn from the tail of the first to the head of the last, magnitude and angle labeled.
A single vector broken into its x-component and y-component using trigonometry, with all magnitudes and the angle labeled.
Multiple force vectors drawn on a single object: applied force, friction, normal force, and weight, each labeled with magnitude and direction.
Two vectors drawn from a common origin forming a parallelogram, with the diagonal representing the resultant vector.
A projectile path with velocity vectors shown at launch, peak, and landing, plus the constant downward gravitational acceleration vector.
A single vector drawn on x-y axes with its magnitude, direction angle, and arrowhead clearly labeled, suitable for introducing vector notation.
Start with one of these examples, then adapt the subject, labels, data, or layout for your own use.
Two vectors placed head-to-tail with the resultant drawn from the tail of the first to the head of the last, magnitude and angle labeled.
Draw a vector addition diagram using the head-to-tail method: a 40 N east vector followed by a 30 N north vector. Show the resultant vector from the origin to the final arrowhead, labeled 50 N at 37 degrees north of east. Classic textbook style with axes. White background.
A single vector broken into its x-component and y-component using trigonometry, with all magnitudes and the angle labeled.
Draw a vector resolution diagram: a vector of magnitude 50 N at 37 degrees above the horizontal. Show the x-component (40 N) as a horizontal arrow and y-component (30 N) as a vertical arrow, all labeled. Include a right-angle marker and the angle theta. Classic style. White background.
Multiple force vectors drawn on a single object: applied force, friction, normal force, and weight, each labeled with magnitude and direction.
Draw force vectors on a rectangular block on a flat surface: an applied force (60 N right), friction force (20 N left), normal force (50 N up), and weight (50 N down). Label each vector with its name and magnitude. Clean textbook style, arrows originating from the block center. White background.
Two vectors drawn from a common origin forming a parallelogram, with the diagonal representing the resultant vector.
Draw a vector addition diagram using the parallelogram method: two vectors from a common origin, 40 N at 0 degrees and 30 N at 90 degrees. Complete the parallelogram with dashed sides and draw the resultant diagonal (50 N at 37 degrees). Label all vectors and the angle. White background.
A vector diagram is a scaled drawing that represents one or more vectors as arrows, where the length of each arrow shows the magnitude and the arrowhead shows the direction. In physics, vector diagrams are used to visualize forces, velocities, accelerations, and displacements. Because vectors have both magnitude and direction, you cannot simply add them with arithmetic: you need a diagram to see how they combine. Figviz generates clean, labeled vector diagrams from a plain description, so you can focus on understanding the physics instead of drawing arrows by hand.
Always label every arrow with its quantity, magnitude, and unit (for example "F = 40 N"). Show angles relative to a clear reference line, typically the positive x-axis or horizontal, and mark them with an arc. Use a consistent scale so arrow lengths match the magnitudes visually. For component diagrams, include a right-angle marker where the components meet. If you are showing multiple vectors on one object (such as a free-body diagram), start all arrows from the same point or from the object itself so the diagram does not look like a head-to-tail chain. Regenerate with a more detailed prompt if any label is missing or the angle looks wrong.
