THE POLYGON LAW states that if (n-1) similar vectors acting at a point in a plane can be represented both in magnitude and direction by the (n-1) consecutive sides of a n-sided polygon then the n-th side will represent the resultant vector in the reverse order.

When drawing a vector using the triangle method of addition how do you draw in the resultant vector?
When drawing a vector using the triangle method you will draw in the resultant vector using Pythagorean theorem. This is taught in physics.
What is Converse polygon law of forces?
Yes
What polygon has sides that are all the same length?
The polygon, as described in the question, is an equilateral polygon. If, in addition to this, all its angles have the same measure then the polygon is said to be regular. Polygons can be equilateral or equiangular or both (regular). The one exception is a triangle where equilateral implies (and is implied by) equiangular.
What is moving every point a constant distance in a specified direction or addition of a constant vector to every point?
the answer is translation, i had to know the answer to that question for a worksheet
State and explain triangle law of vector?
if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in one order ,their resultant vector is represented by the third side of the triangles taken in reverse order
Polygonal rule of vector addition?
If the vectors form a polygon, their sum is zero..
Is it necessary that every vector has to obey the law of vector addition?
Yes.
What is the opposite to vector addition?
the opposite to vector addition is vector subtraction.
What is the reverse process of vectors addition?
reverse process of vector addition is vector resolution.
How do you carry out experiment to verify parallelogram law of vector addition?
Using Gravesand's apparatus
What are balenced forces?
Forces acting on a point such that it gives a null vector by vector addition law, then such type of forces are called balanced forces.
Does vector subtraction commutes?
Vector addition is basically similar, with respect to many of its properties, to the addition of real numbers.A + B = B + ASubtraction is the inverse of addition: A - B = A + (-B), where (-B) is the opposite vector to (B).A - B is not usually the same as B - A. Therefore, it is not commutative.However, if you convert it to an addition, you can apply the commutative law: A + (-B) = (-B) + A.
Why is Vector resolution the opposite of vector addition?
Vector addition derives a new vector from two or more vectors, and vector resolution is breaking a vector down into its two or more components.
Can the triangle law of vector addition be used for many vectors?
no because triangle only contain three vectors and if many vector are added then they cant form a triangle
What is the difference between parallelogram law of vector addition n triangle law of vector addition?
There is basically no difference. They are nothing more than 2 different visualizations of how we can graphically add two vectors.strictly if we say there is one and only difference is that---Triangle law of vector addition states that when 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a triangle taken in order. third side of the triangle will give the magnitude of th resultant 7 direction is in opposite order.Parallelogram law of vector addition states that if 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the diagonal of parallelogram from the point of intersection of two vectors represent their resultant magnitude & direction.
Does commutative law applied to the vector subtraction?
No. It is the same as when you subtract normal numbers. a - b is not the same as b - a. However, if you convert the subtraction to an addition, you can use the commutative law - both with normal subtraction and with vector subtraction. That is, a - b, which can be written as a + (-b), is the same as -b + a.
What is the example of head to tail rule?
In addition of vector when vector A whose head is joined to the tail of the vector B and then the tail of the vector A is linked with the tail of the resultant vector and the head of the vector B is joined with the head of the resultant vector..... it means the addition of vectors are also defined the head to tail rule..
