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.
What is the direction of the resultant vector after adding two equal and opposite vectors?
Theortically, should be the same.
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 is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
What is the difference between resultant and equilibrant vector?
Equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, they act in opposite directions to balance each other.
What is the vector equal but opposite to the resultant vector?
equilibrant
Define the angle of the equilibrant vector?
vector equal in magnitude and opposite direction
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.
What is the opposite to vector addition?
the opposite to vector addition is vector subtraction.
What are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
equal and opposite
What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?
The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
What kind of forces produce movement?
an equal force applied at a vector opposite the force in question.
What is the direction of the resultant vector after adding two equal and opposite vectors?
Theortically, should be the same.
How do you equal and opposite forces acting on objects can produce vastly different accelerations?
They can't. The vector sum of equal and opposite forces is zero, and they can't produce any acceleration at all.
What the difference between vector and resultant vector?
Equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, they act in opposite directions to balance each other.
What is an opposite vector?
It is a vector with the same magnitude (size) but acting in the opposite direction.
What can you say about two vectors if vector A vector B 0?
Depends on the situation. Vector A x Vector B= 0 when the sine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A . Vector B= 0 when the cosine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A + Vector B= 0 when Vectors A and B have equal magnitude but opposite direction.
