Can the triangle law of vector addition be used for many vectors?

no because triangle only contain three vectors and if many vector are added then they cant form a triangle


What is the difference between parallelogram law of vector addition n triangle law of vector addition?

There is basically no difference. They are nothing more than 2 different visualizations of how we can graphically add two vectors.strictly if we say there is one and only difference is that---Triangle law of vector addition states that when 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a triangle taken in order. third side of the triangle will give the magnitude of th resultant 7 direction is in opposite order.Parallelogram law of vector addition states that if 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the diagonal of parallelogram from the point of intersection of two vectors represent their resultant magnitude & direction.


Why the direction of resultant vector in the triangle law of addition is reverse?

In order to bring the system to equilibrium, action and reaction cancel out. The resultant is the reaction.


Is it necessary that every vector has to obey the law of vector addition?

Yes.


What does vector mean in science terms?

Any physical quantity which has both direction and magnitude is called a vector. A quantity must also obey the 'Triangle law of vector addition' to be called as a vector. For example displacement is a vector, u can say a person moved 5 km (magnitude) along west(direction). But electric current is not a vector, it has magnitude and its direction is from +ve terminal to -ve terminal but it doesn't obey triangle law. Rather currents are added as scalars.


What is the triangle law of vectors?

If three vectors form a triangle , their vector sum is zero.


What is the vector triangle?

The "vector triangle" illustrates the "dot product" of two vectors, represented as sides of a triangle and the enclosed angle. This can be calculated using the law of cosines. (see link)


What is triangle law in vectors?

The triangle law states that if two vectors are represented as two sides of a triangle, then the resultant of the vectors is represented by the third side of the triangle, drawn from the initial point of the first vector to the terminal point of the second vector. It is used to calculate the resultant of two vectors by parallelogram law.


Does law of vectors means triangle law of vector?

ya they just accidentally said law of vectors instead.


State and explain triangle law of vector?

if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in one order ,their resultant vector is represented by the third side of the triangles taken in reverse order


Does vector subtraction commutes?

Vector addition is basically similar, with respect to many of its properties, to the addition of real numbers.A + B = B + ASubtraction is the inverse of addition: A - B = A + (-B), where (-B) is the opposite vector to (B).A - B is not usually the same as B - A. Therefore, it is not commutative.However, if you convert it to an addition, you can apply the commutative law: A + (-B) = (-B) + A.
