If they are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions.
No, the resultant of two equal vectors will have a magnitude that is not equal to the magnitude of the original vectors. When two vectors are added together, the resulting vector will have a magnitude that depends on the angle between the two vectors.
The minimum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is zero. That's what happens when the two vectors have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.The maximum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is the sum of the two individual magnitudes. That's what happens when the two vectors have the same direction.
If two vectors are represented by the same magnitude and direction they are said to be equal.
The range of possible values of the resultant of two vectors is from the magnitude of the difference of the magnitudes of the two vectors to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors. This range occurs when the two vectors are in the same direction or in opposite directions, respectively.
Yes.
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.
Equal vectors are vectors having same direction of action or orientation as well as same magnitude. If two or more vectors have same magnitude but different direction then they cannot be called equal vectors. This shows that direction is important for equal vectors.
No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors. Adding two vectors results in a new vector, with a magnitude and direction that is determined by the individual vectors being added.
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
The magnitudes of two vectors are added when the vectors are parallel to each other. In this case, the magnitude of the sum is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors.
