Does The direction a vector is drawn in indicate the magnitude of the vector?
No. The two characteristics of a vector ... its magnitude and its direction ... are independent of each other. Either one can change without affecting the other, and neither one tells you any information about the other. On a drawing, the direction of the vector indicates nothing concerning the magnitude. The length of the vector is usually used to indicate its magnitude, on a drawing.
Vector that shows the combined effect of two or more vector?
Resultant vector or effective vector
Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?
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).
Can two vectors of unequal magnitude add up to give the zero vector?
No. The vector resultant of addition of vectors is the vector that would connect the tail of the first vector to the head of the last. For any set of vectors to add to the zero vector, the endpoint of the last vector added must be coincident with the start point of the first. Therefore for the sum of only two vectors to have a chance of being the zero vector, the second vector must be in a direction exactly opposite the first. So you can tell that the result of adding the two vectors could only can be zero vector if the two vectors were of two equal magnitude.
What is the product of two vector quantities?
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
What are the characteristics of a distance vector routing protocol?
Two Characteristics: RIP is an example of distance vector routing protocols. Updates are periodic and include the entire routing table
Force is a vector quantity. What two characteristics are common to all force?
magnitude and direction
What is the difference between gradient and vector notation?
In the name of God; It must be mentioned that a vector has two important characteristics; 1- direction and 2- quantity. in other word for identification a vector these two characteristics must be defined. for example when we speak about displacement of a body it must has direction and quantity. but about gradient, it has a general mean: difference. Also a specified mean may be defined for it: "any increase or decrease in a vector or scalar field". it is a vector field.
What are the characteristics of vector quantity?
Magnitude and direction
Why is Vector resolution the opposite of vector addition?
Vector addition derives a new vector from two or more vectors, and vector resolution is breaking a vector down into its two or more components.
Does The direction a vector is drawn in indicate the magnitude of the vector?
No. The two characteristics of a vector ... its magnitude and its direction ... are independent of each other. Either one can change without affecting the other, and neither one tells you any information about the other. On a drawing, the direction of the vector indicates nothing concerning the magnitude.

Vector that shows the combined effect of two or more vector?
Resultant vector or effective vector
What is the sum of two vectors A.addition vector B.distance vector C.resultant vector D.displacement vector?
That is usually called the resultant vector.
The sum of two or more vectors is called a blank vector?
The two vectors are P & Q..Sum of the two vecotors is P+Q=R..R Is called the resultant vector of this two vector..the action of the resultant vector R is equal to the actions of two vectors P & Q..
The sum of two or more vectors is called a what vector?
A resultant Vector.
What The sum of two or more vector is called?
Its called your "Resultant Vector"
Why isn't the sum of two vectors a scalar?
A vector has direction, where as a scalar does not. When you add two vectors, it is like you are moving one vector to the end of the other vector, and closing off the triangle with a vector for the third side. That third vector is the addition of the first two vectors. The new vector points in a specific direction, so it cannot be a scalar.
