To add two vectors, you add the components. The angles are specified in polar coordinates (magnitude and angle); use the same convention for both angles (for example, measure them from the x-axis counterclockwise), then use your scientific calculator to convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates. Most scientific calculators have a P->R conversion. After that, you can add the components of the vectors separately. Since you want the magnitude and direction of the resultant force, you then need to convert back to polar coordinates (R->P conversion, on your calculator).

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.


What is the angle between two vectors if their sum is to be maximum?

The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.


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

What should be the angle between two vectors of magnitudes 8 and 8 units so that their resultant has a magnitude of 20 units?

It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a

Two forces 10N and 5N act on a body what could not be a resultant of these forces?

The magnitude of the resultant can be anything between 5N and 15N.


What is the magnitude of the resultant of a pair of perpendicular 300 N vectors?

The magnitude depends on the angle between the vectors. The magnitude could be from 0 to 600 N.
