What is the sum of to vectors?

A variety of mathematical operations can be performed with and upon vectors. One such operation is the addition of vectors. Two vectors can be added together to determine the result (or resultant). This process of adding two or more vectors has already been discussed in an earlier unit. Recall in our discussion of Newton's laws of motion, that the net force experienced by an object was determined by computing the vector sum of all the individual forces acting upon that object. That is the net force was the result (or resultant) of adding up all the force vectors. During that unit, the rules for summing vectors (such as force vectors) were kept relatively simple. Observe the following summations of two force vectors:


What is the sum of two vectors called?

This is just called the "sum". Sometimes also the "resultant vector".


What is the difference between coplanar vectors and collinear vectors?

The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).


Is it independtly of or independently from?

Both "independently of" and "independently from" are correct and commonly used, but "independently of" is more common in British English while "independently from" is more common in American English.


What are the applications of Parallelogram law of vectors?

The law is used to add vectors to find the resultant of two or more vectors acting at a point.


Two or more vectors combine to form an?

I believe the sum of two or more vectors is called a "Resultant."


Is direction is important for equal vectors?

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.


An object that takes up more space than another object has greater what?

Volume


If an object takes up more space than another object what will it have?

Greater volume than the other object.


Two or more vectors combine to form?

Two or more vectors combine to form a resultant sum; V1 + V2 + ...+ Vn = VR


What happens if negative particles from one object move to another object?

Then the charge of the giving object becomes more positive, and the charge of the receiving object becomes more negative.


Does the direct object tell more about another noun?

The direct object receives the action of the verb.
