Yes, as long as the direction is exactly opposite (180 degrees from each other).

A vector has both magnitude and direction.

What displacement vectors of 3 meters and 5 meters in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector?

The combined displacement vector would be 8 meters in the same direction as the individual vectors, as you simply add the magnitudes of the vectors together.


Displacement vectors of 3m and 5m in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector that is?

8m in the same direction.


Displacement vectors of 3 m and 5 m in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector that is in magnitude.?

Displacement vector in the same direction = 3 m + 5 m = 8 m.


What are unit vectors?

a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one


Displacement vectors of 3m and 5m in the ssme direction combine to make a displacement vectors that is in magnitude?

The combined displacement vector will have a magnitude of 8m. This is found by simply adding the magnitudes of the two original displacement vectors together (3m + 5m = 8m), since they are in the same direction.


Do i add or subtract when a displacement vector is in the same direction?

When two displacement vectors are in the same direction, you add them together to find the resultant displacement. This is because they are working together to move an object further in that direction.


What is a Resultant Vectors?

resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.


Is displacement and resultant the same?

No, displacement is a vector quantity that measures the change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point, while resultant is a vector that represents the sum or combination of all individual vectors acting on an object.


When adding vectors in one dimension what could the position of the head of the arrow represent?

When adding vectors in one dimension, the position of the head of the arrow represents the final displacement or position based on the individual vector components. It shows the combined effect of the vectors acting in the same direction or opposite directions.


What Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is?

24 m west. The displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west align in the same direction, so their resultant vector will simply be the sum of the magnitudes, which is 24 m west.


Is it possible to add a vector quantity?

No, you cannot directly add two vector quantities unless they are of the same type (e.g., both displacement vectors or velocity vectors). Otherwise, vector addition requires breaking down the vectors into their components and adding corresponding components together.


How can simultaneous vectors be combined to form a resultant vector using pencil and paper?

Start with a point O. Draw a line OA in the direction of the first vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that vector (to some scale). From A, draw the line AB in the direction of the second vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that second vector (to the same scale). Then the direction and length of the straight line OB represent the direction and (to the same scale) the magnitude of the resultant vector.
