Displacement Vectors
Are all unit vectors equal?
No. Their magnitudes are equal (that's why they're "unit" vectors), but their directions are different.
Can three vectors of different magnitudes and directions add to zero?
yeah
Can the directions of the sum of two two vectors be equal to the directions of difference of two vectors?
Yes.
Adding vectors that act in the opposite direction?
When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.
How do you use vectors?
Vectors are used to denote or model directions.
What are the cartesian base vectors in mathematics?
They are unit vectors in the positive directions of the x and y axes.
Is it possible to add three vectors of equal magnitude but different directions to get a null vectors?
yes, as long as they have 120 degrees separating them from each other, (360/3). all vectors must have total x and y component values of 0.
What is the direction of two unequal vectors's sum?
It can be any direction. It depends on the magnitudes and directions of the two original vectors.
