When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
What is the least number of non-zero vectors that can be added to give a resultant equal to zero?
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
Can the resultant of two vectors be equal to zero?
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
Can the sum of two equal vectors be equal to either of the vectors?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
When are the magnitudes of two vectors equal to zero?
When they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
What is the minimum number of vectors with equal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
What is the resultant of two vectors?
The resultant of two vectors is a third vector., for example V1 + V2 = V3. V3 may be equal to zero, greater than zero or less than zero.
What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
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.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of vectors Explain?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
Can the sum of two vectors of unequal magnitudes be a zero vector?
The sum of two unequal vectors can not be zero, because we can get minimum magnitude of two vectors when they are in opposite direction and can only get zero magnitude when they are equal in magnitude.................................... Answered by: SAJJAD AHMED(bfps doha Qatar)
