Two vectors having same magnitude but different direction are called equivalent vectors.

Why vector is called free vector?

A vector that is not a positional vector (or directly related) is equivalent to another vector of the same magnitude and direction wherever else in space it may be located. Since it is "free" to be located anywhere, it is called a free vector.


Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?

It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A.For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is equivalent to the addition of (-B) with A, i.e. A-B = A+(-B).


Can alternating current be expressed as a vector?

In the case of AC, you can express the current, the voltage and the equivalent to the resistance (called "impedance" in this case) as a vector - with a magnitude, and a phase angle.


Find a vecot equivalent to the vector PQ with its initial point at the origin and find the magnitude of the vector P equals -4 -3 Q equals -2 2?

vector PQ where P(-4, -3) and Q(-2, 2) equivalent vector P'Q' where P'(0, 0) and Q'(2, 5) the magnitude doesn't change so we can compute |P'Q'| = √(22 + 52) = √29


When magnitude of vector a plus b is equal to the magnitude of vector a minus b then what is the angle between two vectors a and b?

2pi/3 radian or equivalent 120 degree


Is momentum a scalar quality?

A vector quantity is one which transforms like the coordinates. In other words, if a coordinate system is transformed by an operator , any vector quantity in the old coordinate system can be transformed to its equivalent in the new system by the same operator. An example of a vector quantity is displacement (r). If displacement is a vector, the rate of change of displacement (dr/dt) or the velocity is also a vector. The mass of an object (M) is a scalar quantity. Multiplying a vector by a scalar yields a vector. So momentum, which is the mass multiplied by velocity, is also a vector. Momentum too transforms like the coordinates, much like any other vector. The definition of a vector as a quantity having "magnitude and direction" is simply wrong. For example, electric current has "magnitude and direction", but is a scalar and not a vector.


What are the similarities between vectors and complex numbers?

If you add two complex numbers, the resulting complex number is equivalent to the vector resulting from adding the two vectors. If you multiply two complex numbers, the resulting complex number is equivalent to the vector resulting from the cross product of the two vectors.


Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?

Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
