How can vectors be added by placing the head of one vector to another?
Adidas4
Vectors can be added together graphically by placing the head of one vector at the tail of the other vector. The slope of a line tangent to a curve indicates instantaneous velocity.

Can Vectors be added together scalar quantities cannot?
Vectors can be added to other vectors in the same vector space. Scalars can be added to other scalars if they have the same units. Scalars cannot be added to vectors, nor vice versa, directly.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
Can scalar and vector quantities added by the same method?
Scalar quantities are added algebraically. But vector quantities are added using vector addition. If 3 and 4 are added only 7 is the result. If two vectors with magnitude 3 and 4 are added there will be different results such as 7, 1, 5, etc etc. 7 will be the answer if both the vectors are in the same direction. 1 will be the answer if both are in opposite direction 5 will be the answer if both act perpendicular to each other. Other innumerable answers are possible as both vectors act with different angles of inclination.
Can Scalar and vector quantities be added by the same method?
No, scalar can be added together directly, whereas vectors can only add their separate components together.
Can vectors be added to each other?
Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.
Is it possible the add a vector and scalar?
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
Can Vectors be added together scalar quantities cannot?
Vectors can be added to other vectors in the same vector space. Scalars can be added to other scalars if they have the same units. Scalars cannot be added to vectors, nor vice versa, directly.
Can the triangle law of vector addition be used for many vectors?
no because triangle only contain three vectors and if many vector are added then they cant form a triangle
Can two vectors of unequal magnitude add up to give the zero vector?
No. The vector resultant of addition of vectors is the vector that would connect the tail of the first vector to the head of the last. For any set of vectors to add to the zero vector, the endpoint of the last vector added must be coincident with the start point of the first. Therefore for the sum of only two vectors to have a chance of being the zero vector, the second vector must be in a direction exactly opposite the first. So you can tell that the result of adding the two vectors could only can be zero vector if the two vectors were of two equal magnitude.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
How resolution of vector is used in applying the component methods in adding vectors?
The related question has a nice detail of this. Each vector is resolved into component vectors. For 2-dimensions, it is an x-component and a y-component. Then the respective components are added. These added components make up the resultant vector.
How do you use the parallelogram method to add more than two vectors?
Use the parallelogram method to add two of the vectors to create a single vector for them;Now use this vector with another of the vectors to be added (using the parallelogram method to create another vector).Repeat until all the vectors have been added.For example, if you have to add V1, V2, V3, V4 do:Used method to add V1 and V2 to result in R1Use method to add R1 and V3 to result in R2Use method to add R2 and V4 to give final resulting vector R.
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.
Can three vectors be added using the parallelogram method?
yes since the 3rd vector will be parallel to the resultant of the 1st and 2nd vector
What is the rule for adding vectors?
The general rule for adding vectors is to hook them together "head to tail" and then draw in a resultant vector. The resultant will have the magnitude and direction that represents the sum of the two vectors that were added.
