How would you add two vectors that are not perpendicular or parallel?

To add two vectors that aren't parallel or perpindicular you resolve both of the planes displacement vectors into "x' and "y" components and then add the components together. (parallelogram technique graphically)


What is the objectives of Resolution of Vectors?

One common reason why you need to do this is to add vectors. If you have two different vectors, and want to add them - algebraically, of course - then you first need to separate them into components. After you do that, you can easily add the components together.


What is vector sum anyway?

when you add the measurement of two or more vectors together

Why can't two numbers with the same dimensions be added together in terms of physics?

There are some classes of numbers that can and others that cannot. Scalars can. Vectors usually cannot, if to add two vectors together you simply add their numerical values. Their directions - a characteristic of the vectors but which has no dimensions - need to be taken into account.


Why do nonperpendicular vectors need to be resolved into components before you can add the vectors together?

You can graphically add the vectors together without resolving them. However to mathematically add them they need to be resolved to find the new direction.


At what condition can we add two vectors vectorically?

When the angle between the two vectors are not a multiple of 180 degrees.


What are the applications of Parallelogram law of vectors?

The law is used to add vectors to find the resultant of two or more vectors acting at a point.


How do you get the resultant of two or more vectors?

You can add the vectors graphically - join them head-to-tail. Or you can solve them algebraically: you can separate them into components, and add the components.


Is it possible to add two vectors of unequal magnitudes an get zero?

No.


Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant.is it possible for three such vectors?

Two vectors with unequal magnitudes can't add to zero, but three or more can.


Do velocity vectors combine with force vectors?

simply: No, Velocity vectors are different to force vectors. One measures velocity and one measures force so you can not simply add/subtract/multiply/divide them together and get something meaningful.
