It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A.

For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is equivalent to the addition of (-B) with A, i.e. A-B = A+(-B).

When does vector c equal a plus b?

If the vectors a and b are arranged so that the head of a (the arrow bit) is at the tail of b, then c must be from the tail of a to the head of b. The vectors a and b can be swapped since vector addition is commutative.


What must be the relationship between two vectors a and b if the magnitude of vector a plus b is equal to magnitude of a-b?

a and b must face in opposite directions.


If vector B is added to vector A under what circumstances does the resultant vector A plus B have magnitude A plus B. under what circumstances does the resultant vector equals to zero?

if b + a , since a+b equals b + a due to it being commutative . it shud have the same magnitude and direction


What can you say about two vectors if vector A vector B 0?

Depends on the situation. Vector A x Vector B= 0 when the sine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A . Vector B= 0 when the cosine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A + Vector B= 0 when Vectors A and B have equal magnitude but opposite direction.


Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?

The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
