resultants

Combined force vectors

Resultants is the plural of resultant, which names something that results from combining forces or factors.

In physics and mathematics, a resultant is a single vector that has the same effect as two or more vectors acting together: The resultant of the two forces pointed northeast.

More broadly, resultants are outcomes or consequences: The resultants of the merger included layoffs and restructuring.
