When you resolve a vector and what do you get?
You get other vectors, usually perpendicular to each other, that - when added together - result in the original vector. These component vectors are usually along the axes of some selected coordinate system.
How are vectors added?
Vectors are added by head to tail rule.
Can three vectors of equal magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant?
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
What is the condition when two vectors are addition and subtraction are same magnitude?
The condition is the two vectors are perpendicular to each other.
Do forces add up or cancel?
Forces have to be added as vectors. This means that in certain cases, the forces can cancel, and in other cases they can be added.
Can any two vectors be added or subtracted?
Yes, all vectors can be added or subtracted.
Is it possible for two vectors with different magnitudes to totally cancel each other?
no
Is it possible the add a vector and scalar?
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
How great is the resultant of two equal-magnitude vectors at right angles to each other?
Let two equal magnitude vectors be 'X'.. Then, resultant=1.414X
How do you add to vectors?
Vectors are added by components; z1 + z2 = a1 + ib1 +a2 +ib2 = (a1 + a2) + i (b1 + b2)
Is the order of addition important when three or more vectors are added?
No it has no effect.
How can vectors be added in either order?
Addition is commutative, A + B = B + A.
How can you use the pythagorean theorem to add two vectors that are perpindicular to each other?
Construct the rectangle that contains the right angle subtended by the vectors. Calculate or construct the diagonal of the rectangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the two vectors as sides. The hypotenuse is also the vector that is the sum of the two original vectors. Calculate the magnitude of that vector by applying the theorem.
How you can add the vectors?
1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector. 2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the different vectors.
How are vectors and viruses related?
They are related in that vectors are the organisms carrying the pathogens or virus itself. A virus relies on the vectors to spread to other organisms and reproduce.
When vectors are added or subtracted what is the net force called?
The sum of vectors is not always a force. It might be a displacement, a velocity, acceleration, momentum, divergence, curl, gradient, etc. In any case, the algebraic combination of several individual vectors is the "resultant".
Which method will give the same result if applied repeatedly for the same vectors added?
Scalar multiplication.
