What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?

The result will also be a velocity vector.
Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second.
If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.

What is the result of adding a displacement vector to an another displacement vector?
another displacement
Is velocity a vector?
True ,velocity is a vector quantity ,it is specified by a magnitude and direction.
Can vectors be added to each other?
Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.
How is velocity diffrent from speed?
Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
How does vector calculus apply in fluid mechanics?
The velocity at each point in the fluid is a vector. If the fluid is compressible, the divergence of the velocity vector is nonzero in general. In a vortex the curl is nonzero.
When we subtract a velocity vector from another velocity vector the result is?
Still another velocity vector (or a zero vector).
Vector quantitie that indicate from one point to another?
The vector quantity that indicates movement from one point to another is the velocity. The velocity is the rate of change of position and is a vector quantity.
What is an object's momentum?
It's the mass of a object on its velocity (the velocity is a vector and as result of multiplication of a scalar (mass) on a vector (velocity) you get a vector (momentum). Intuitively, momentum is the property of a body which enables it to resist a force.
What is another word for measure of speed and direction?
Velocity A Vector is the measurement of velocity and direction.
What is the result of adding a displacement vector to an another displacement vector?
another displacement
Is momentum a vector?
Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.
When you add a displacement vector to another displacement vectorthe result is?
The result is a net displacement vector.
What is the physical significance of null vectors?
Zero vector or null vector is a vector which has zero magnitude and an arbitrary direction. It is represented by . If a vector is multiplied by zero, the result is a zero vector. It is important to note that we cannot take the above result to be a number, the result has to be a vector and here lies the importance of the zero or null vector. The physical meaning of can be understood from the following examples. The position vector of the origin of the coordinate axes is a zero vector. The displacement of a stationary particle from time t to time tl is zero. The displacement of a ball thrown up and received back by the thrower is a zero vector. The velocity vector of a stationary body is a zero vector. The acceleration vector of a body in uniform motion is a zero vector. When a zero vector is added to another vector , the result is the vector only. Similarly, when a zero vector is subtracted from a vector , the result is the vector . When a zero vector is multiplied by a non-zero scalar, the result is a zero vector.
What is a size of a velocity vector?
The size of the velocity vector is the speed.
Which is vector speed or velocity?
"Speed" is a scalar; "velocity" is a vector.
Is moment a vector or a scalar?
A vector. Since velocity is a vector, moment, which is mass x velocity, is also a vector.
Which is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
