resultant
A vector obtained by adding several vectors together. In physics, the term especially refers to the force that has the same effect as several forces acting together.
Die Resultierende der beiden entgegengesetzten, gleich großen Kräfte ist null.
The resultant of the two opposing forces of equal magnitude is zero.

Which quantities belong together is often indicated by a genitive after „Resultierende“ (resultant). The construction „Resultierende von“ (resultant of) with the dative is also possible.
Gesucht ist die Resultierende der drei Kräfte.
The resultant of the three forces is required.
Die Resultierende von zwei senkrecht zueinander wirkenden Kräften berechnet man mit dem Satz des Pythagoras.
The resultant of two forces acting perpendicular to each other is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.
In physics exercises, you are often asked to „die Resultierende bestimmen“ (determine the resultant) or „die Resultierende zeichnerisch ermitteln“ (find the resultant graphically). With two forces, the term „Kräfteparallelogramm“ (parallelogram of forces) often occurs as well.
Ermitteln Sie die Resultierende zeichnerisch mithilfe eines Kräfteparallelogramms.
Determine the resultant graphically using a parallelogram of forces.
