Yes, as long as the direction is exactly opposite (180 degrees from each other).
A vector has both magnitude and direction.
a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one
When they point in the same direction.
Convenient notation for vectors of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
If vector a and b are truly identical, their resultant angle will be the same. Their resultant velocity will not be the same, however. Assuming you mean the magnitudes are the same, the two vectors will be at an angle of 120o
Vectors are represented by arrows. They represent something that has magnitude, expressed by the length of the arrow, and direction shown by the direction the arrow head points away from the reference system. Vector addition is really quite simple. Make sure all vectors of interest use the same units of magnitude. Pick a vector and place the tail of the arrow on the intersection of the reference system. Do not change it's direction or magnitude. Take the next vector you wish to add and place the tail at the tip of the arrow of the first vector. Again, do not change either direction or magnitude. Do this with all vectors you wish to add. Remember, NEVER CHANGE MAGNITUDE OR DIRECTION. When you draw a new vector from the origin of the reference to the tip of the last vector in the chain of vectors being added, the new vector is the sum of all the vectors in the chain.
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.
8m in the same direction.
Displacement vector in the same direction = 3 m + 5 m = 8 m.
a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one
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.
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.
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
