Thee direction of the two vectors.


What is the rule for adding vectors?

The general rule for adding vectors is to hook them together "head to tail" and then draw in a resultant vector. The resultant will have the magnitude and direction that represents the sum of the two vectors that were added.

The zero-vector has no direction.

When two nonzero vectors A and B are added and the sum has magnitude 3 it's possible that A equals B equals 3?

The vectors can not be both equal, but they can have the same magnitude of 3, if they are at a 60 degree angle.


Can three vectors be added using the parallelogram method?

yes since the 3rd vector will be parallel to the resultant of the 1st and 2nd vector


When vectors are added or subtracted what is the net force called?

The sum of vectors is not always a force. It might be a displacement, a velocity, acceleration, momentum, divergence, curl, gradient, etc. In any case, the algebraic combination of several individual vectors is the "resultant".


How many minimum no of coplaner vectors having different magnitude can be added to given zero resultant?

If all magnitudes are different, then minimum is three.
