|v| = vx
|v| = Sqrt(vx2 + vy2)
|v| = Sqrt(vx2 + vy2 + vz2)

∙ 8y agoA single vector is its own resultant. A resultant vector is usually taken to be the single vector that will have the same effect as multiple vectors. In two dimensions, a straight-forward way of finding the resultant of multiple vectors is to decompose each of the vectors into its x- and y-components. Sum the x-components and sum the y-components. Use these results and the pythagorean therom to calculate the magnitude of the resultant, R,
R √[(sum x)2+(sum y)2
The direction of the resultant can be determined by finding the angle whose tangent is (sum x)/(sum y)

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.
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 the 5 steps in adding vectors using the polygon method?
Polygon Method Of Adding Vector1. Draw the first vector using a scale.2. Connect the tail, the 2nd vector to the arrow head to first vector. Repeat desame procedures with the other vector.3. Join the tail of the first vector to the arrow head of the last vector to determine the magnitude and direction of resultant.4. The length of resultant draw the scale determines the magnitude and the direction is the angle between the arrow head of the last vector.
A novice pilot sets a plane's controls thinking the plane will fly at 2.5 X 102 kmh to the north if the wind blows at 75 kmh toward the southeast what is the plane's resultant velocity?
The wind is blowing at a vector of 225 degrees with a magnitude of 75. The original heading is on a vector of zero with a magnitude of 2500. The resultant vector is then 15 degrees east of north at 203.98 kmh.
If is added to under what conditions does the resultant vector have a magnitude equal to A B?
1. When the two vectors are parlell the magnitude of resultant vector R=A+B. 2. When the two vectors are having equal magnitude and they are antiparlell then R=A-A=0. For more information: thrinath_dadi@yahoo.com
How do you change the magnitude of the resultant vector between two if the angle between them decreases?
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
If a vector of magnitude 3 is added to a vector of magnitude 4 what can the magnitude of the resultant be?

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.
Formula to calculate magnitude of the resultant vector?
To calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. Square the x-component of the vector, square the y-component of the vector, and sum them together. Finally, take the square root of the resulting sum. The formula is: |R| = sqrt((Rx^2) + (Ry^2)).
Can the magnitude of resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude be equal of magnitude of either vector?
yes
What is the difference between a resultant vector and a component vector?
The resultant vector describes the complete vector, magnitude and direction; while the component vector describes a single component of a vector, like the x-component. If the resultant vector has only one component, the resultant and the component are the same and there is no difference.t
Can the magnitude of the resultant of two vector be greater than the sum of magnitudes of indivisual vector?
No.
What the magnitude of resultant vector of two equal forces each of magnitude F is?
the resultant magnitude is 2 times the magnitude of F as the two forces are equal, Resultant R= F + F = 2F and the magnitude of 2F is 2F.
How do you find vector components when given the vectors are parallel and the magnitude of each vector is equal to 1?
If they are parallel, you can add them algebraically to get a resultant vector. Then you can resolve the resultant vector to obtain the vector components.
Does the resultant take into account the direction of the two vectors?
Yes, a resultant vector is the vector sum of the two vectors. It has it's own direction and magnitude.
If vector B is added to vector A under what circumstances does the resultant vector A plus B have magnitude A plus B. under what circumstances does the resultant vector equals to zero?
if b + a , since a+b equals b + a due to it being commutative . it shud have the same magnitude and direction
A vector of magnitude 3 cannot be added to a vector of magnitude 4 so the magnitude of the resultant is?
