Vector systems are a branch of mathematics that is used to manipulate measurements that have a value as well as a direction. Common examples are velocity, acceleration, force, etc - measurements involving motion. However, some motion-related measurements are not vectors. Distance, speed are not.
The smallest magnitude resulting from the addition of vectors with individual magnitudes of 4 and 3 is 1, obtained when the directions of the two component vectors are 180 degrees apart.
Of course it is! for example, [1, √3] + [-2, 0] + [1, - √3 ] = [0, 0]. Like this example, all other sets of such vectors will form an equilateral triangle on the graph.. Actually connecting the endpoints of the 3 vectors forms the equilateral triangle. The vectors are actually 120° apart.
The vectors can not be both equal, but they can have the same magnitude of 3, if they are at a 60 degree angle.
1) Separate the vectors into components (if they are not already expressed as components). 2) Add each of the components separately. 3) If required, convert the vectors back to some other form. For twodimensional vectors, that would polar form.
Vectors and Scolars Vectors: have an magnitude and a direction Scolars: have an magnitude but have no direction
No, scalars and vectors are not the same. Scalars are measurements in numbers. Examples: work, energy, mass, speed, and distance. Scalars measure in one magnitude. Vectors measure velocity, acceleration, force, and momentum.

the measurements are 3 in.

The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).
1) Separate the vectors into components (if they are not already expressed as components). 2) Add each of the components separately. 3) If required, convert the vectors back to some other form. For twodimensional vectors, that would polar form.
You do the dot product of the vectors by multiplying their corresponding coordinates and adding them up altogether. For instance: <1,2,3> ∙ <-3,4,-1> = 1(-3) + 2(4) + 3(-1) = -3 + 8 - 3 = 2
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
No it is not. It's possible to have to have a set of vectors that are linearly dependent but still Span R^3. Same holds true for reverse. Linear Independence does not guarantee Span R^3. IF both conditions are met then that set of vectors is called the Basis for R^3. So, for a set of vectors, S, to be a Basis it must be:(1) Linearly Independent(2) Span S = R^3.This means that both conditions are independent.
