You can add vectors graphically, by drawing them head-to-tail. Algebraically, you can separate them into components (for example, in two dimensions, the horizontal and the vertical component), then add those.

What is the difference between a resultant vector and a component vector?

The resultant vector describes the complete vector, magnitude and direction; while the component vector describes a single component of a vector, like the x-component. If the resultant vector has only one component, the resultant and the component are the same and there is no difference.t


Define the angle of the resultant vector?

The resultant vector is the vector that 'results' from adding two or more vectors together. This vector will create some angle with the x -axis and this is the angle of the resultant vector.


What is difference in resultant vector and vector resolution?

the difference between resultant vector and resolution of vector is that the addition of two or more vectors can be represented by a single vector which is termed as a resultant vector. And the decomposition of a vector into its components is called resolution of vectors.

What is the result of multiplying vector components by a scalar?

If the scalar is > 1 the resultant vector will be larger and in the same direction. = 1 the resultant vector will be the same as the original vector. between 0 and 1 the resultant vector will be smaller and in the same direction. = 0 the resultant vector will be null. If the scalar is less than 0, then the pattern will be the same as above except that the direction of the resultant will be reversed.


What is meant by resultant of a vector?

A resultant vector is one vector which can replace all the other vectors and produce the same effect.
