The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector.

V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.

How to you find a vector parallel to two given vectors?

I think you meant to ask for finding a perpendicular vector, rather than parallel. If that is the case, the cross product of two non-parallel vectors will produce a vector which is perpendicular to both of them, unless they are parallel, which the cross product = 0. (a zero vector)


How would you define the zero vector by using the idea of components?

All components of the zero vector equal to zero.


When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?

When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.


How would you define the zero vector 0?

The zero vector, denoted as 0, is a vector with all components equal to zero. It serves as the additive identity element in vector spaces, meaning that adding it to any vector does not change the vector's value.


Can the magnitude of a vector be equal to one of its components?

Yes. A vector in two dimensions is broken into two components, a vector in three dimensions broken into three components, etc... If the value of all but one component of a vector equal zero then the magnitude of the vector is equal to the non-zero component.


What is equalibrium in physics?

The sum of all forces is equal to zero when added using the vector method The sum of all torque is equal to zero when added using the vector method


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?

The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is indeterminate or undefined because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.


Can the component of a non-zero vector be zero?

Yes, the component of a non-zero vector can be zero. A non-zero vector can have one or more components equal to zero while still having a non-zero magnitude overall. For example, in a two-dimensional space, the vector (0, 5) has a zero component in the x-direction but is still a non-zero vector since its y-component is non-zero.


When does the subtraction of two vector equal zero?

The subtraction of two vectors equals zero when the two vectors are identical in both magnitude and direction. Mathematically, if vector A minus vector B equals the zero vector (A - B = 0), then A must be equal to B. This implies that they point in the same direction and have the same length.


Can the sum of two vector be equal to either of the vector?

Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.


If vector c equals vector a plus vector b under what circumstances does c equal a minus b?

When b is zero.


If two vector have equal magnitudes can their sum be zero Explain?

Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.
