Similar to subtraction of real numbers, to subtract a vector means to add the opposite vector. Here is an example:
Subtract (5, 3) - (2, -2)
This is equivalent to (5, 3) + (-2, 2)
Add by components:
(5-2, 3+2) = (3, 5)

Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of the vectors explain?
Yes, if one of the vectors is the null vector.
Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of vectors Explain?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
What is a subtraction problem that the answer is 10?
How about: 15-5 = 10 as one example
Can the resultant or two vectors of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either of the vectors?
Yes, it can.A simple example as when two vectors of the same magnitude act at an angle of 120 degrees to one another.
What are the Methods used in adding and subtracting vectors?
Triangle law of vectors or parallelogram law of vectors. Just while subtracting change the direction of the vector which is to be subtracted and add along with the one from which it is to be subtracted. Just as we change the sign and add in case of subtraction of numbers. Answer2: Vectors are added and subtracted by component. A=a1 + a2 and B=b1 + b2 then C = A + B = (a1 + b1) + (a2 + b2) = c1 + c2 .
Why are some vectors pseudo vectors and some real vectors?
Answer: There are no "pseudo vectors" there are pseudo "rules". For example the right hand rule for vector multiplication. If you slip in the left hand rule then the vector becomes a pseudo vector under the right hand rule. Answer: A pseudo vector is one that changes direction when it is reflected. This affects all vectors that represent rotations, as well as, in general, vectors that are the result of a cross product.
What is the resultant force if the first force has an upward vector and the second force has a downward vector?
If the two vectors are directly opposite each other, then subtract the smaller one from the larger one and that will be your resultant force. For example, if the force downwards is 5 N and the force upwards is 2 N, the resultant force is 3 N downwards. If the one or both of the two vectors are angled, you need to replace the angled vectors with two right-angled vectors and then add those to create the resultant vectors.
What equals 27 in subtraction?
There are infinitely many possible answers. One such is 27.3 - 0.3
One difference between vectors and scalars?
Vectors have a direction associated with them, scalars do not.
Do velocity vectors combine with force vectors?
simply: No, Velocity vectors are different to force vectors. One measures velocity and one measures force so you can not simply add/subtract/multiply/divide them together and get something meaningful.
How you can add the vectors?
1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector. 2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the different vectors.
When adding vectors in one dimension what does the length of arrows represent?
The magnitudes of the vectors. apexs
