Equal vectors are vectors having same direction of action or orientation as well as same magnitude. If two or more vectors have same magnitude but different direction then they cannot be called equal vectors. This shows that direction is important for equal vectors.

When are two vectors said to be equal?
If two vectors are represented by the same magnitude and direction they are said to be equal.
Can you add equal vectors?
Yes, you can add vectors of equal length. Make sure they are equal by both of them having the same magnitude and direction. Otherwise, you can add equal vectors.
For any triangle made of vectors will any pair of vectors that form its sides be equal vectors?
No. Only in the equilateral case. And then they will only be equal in magnitude, not 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 the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitudes of the sum of these two vectors?
only if the vectors have the same direction
When is the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors equal to the magnitude of the sum of the vectors?
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.
When do you get the addition of two vectors equal to zero?
If they are of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
When are the magnitudes of two vectors equal to zero?
When they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
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.
Can the resultant of two vectors be equal to zero?
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
What are equal vector?
If both magnitude and direction are the same then the two vectors are said to be equal.
Which are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
They are vectors of equal magnitudes in oppositedirections. When you add them, they cancel out each other.
