The sum of two vectors is a minimum when the angle between them is what?
180 degrees. Then the sum of the two vectors has a magnitude equal to the difference of their individual magnitudes.
When is the vector sum equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
When the angle between any two component vectors is either zero or 180 degrees.
What is the angle between two vectors if their sum is to be maximum?
The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.
When do you get a magnitude of 0 in vector?
The magnitude of a vector is 0 if the magnitude is given to be 0.The magnitude of the resultant of several vectors in n-dimensional space is 0 if and only if the components of the vectors sum to 0 in each of a sewt of n orthogonal directions.
Can the sum of two vectors be a scalar?
No.
Can the resultant of two vectors be equal to zero?
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
Adding vectors that act in the opposite direction?
When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.
When two vectors sum to zero how are they related?
Their magnitudes are exactly equal, and their directions are exactly opposite.
When to vectors sum to zero how must they be related?
Their magnitudes are exactly equal and their directions are exactly opposite.
The sum of two vectors is a minimum when the angle between them is what?
180 degrees. Then the sum of the two vectors has a magnitude equal to the difference of their individual magnitudes.
Two vectors have nonzero magnitudeunder what conditions will their sum be zero?
Their sum can be zero only if their magnitudes are equal and their directions are exactly opposite.
Can A plus B equal zero when A and B have nonzero magnitudes?
If 'A' and 'B' are vectors, and their magnitudes are equal, andtheir directions are opposite, then their vector sum is zero.
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever b equal to the the sum of these two vectors?
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitudes of the sum of these two vectors?
only if the vectors have the same direction
When is the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors equal to the magnitude of the sum of the vectors?
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.
Is the sum of two vectors of equal magnitude equal to the magnitude of either vectors AND their difference root 3 times the magnitude of each vector?
iff the angle between them is 120 degrees
When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
