How are displacement combined?
by vector addition?
What is scalar addition?
The additional of scalars (normal numbers), as opposed to the addition of vectors.
Velocity addition is used when motion involves?
Velocity addition is used when motion involves vectors.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What is the reverse process of vectors addition?
reverse process of vector addition is vector resolution.
What' does the addition of two vectors give you?
In vector addition, the sum of two (or more) vectors will give a resultant vector. There are a number of sites that will help you with tutorials. A link to one can be found below.

by vector addition?
What is the difference between vector addition and algebraic addition?
There is no difference between vector addition and algebraic addition. Algebraic Addition applies to vectors and scalars: [a ,A ] + [b, B] = [a+b, A + B]. Algebraic addition handles the scalars a and b the same as the Vectors A and B
What is the difference between parallelogram law of vector addition n triangle law of vector addition?
There is basically no difference. They are nothing more than 2 different visualizations of how we can graphically add two vectors.strictly if we say there is one and only difference is that---Triangle law of vector addition states that when 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a triangle taken in order. third side of the triangle will give the magnitude of th resultant 7 direction is in opposite order.Parallelogram law of vector addition states that if 2 vectors r acting as the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the diagonal of parallelogram from the point of intersection of two vectors represent their resultant magnitude & direction.
What is scalar addition?
The additional of scalars (normal numbers), as opposed to the addition of vectors.
What is the purpose of vector resolution in adding vectors?
Vector addition does not follow the familiar rules of addition as applied to addition of numbers. However, if vectors are resolved into their components, the rules of addition do apply for these components. There is a further advantage when vectors are resolved along orthogonal (mutually perpendicular) directions. A vector has no effect in a direction perpendicular to its own direction.
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.
How do you add 2 vectors?
Vector addition is commutative so you can start with either vector.The graphical solutions are quite simple.If the vectors are parallel, then their addition is the sum of the two vectors and acts in the same direction.If the vectors are anti-parallel, then their addition is the difference of the two vectors and acts in the direction of the larger vector.If the vectors are not parallel, draw them with their tails together. The complete the parallelogram using these as two of the sides. The addition of the vectors is the diagonal through the first vertex.Otherwise, (and more accurately),if you have vectors a and b inclined at angles p and q to the positive direction of the x axis, then the component of their sum along thehorizontal direction is s = a*cos(p) + b*cos(q)and the vertical component is t = a*sin(p) + b*sin(q)The magnitude of the resultant is sqrt(s2 + t2) and its direction is arctan(t/s) within the appropriate range.
Velocity addition is used when motion involves?
Velocity addition is used when motion involves vectors.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What are vectors and what are the 2 properties of them?
Vectors are quantities that have a value as well as a direction.Vector addition is commutative: x + y = y + xThe value of the sum of two vectors is always less than or equal to the sum of their individual values.|x + y| ≤ |x| + |y|
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
