How can vectors be added by placing the head of one vector to another?

Vectors can be added together graphically by placing the head of one vector at the tail of the other vector. The slope of a line tangent to a curve indicates instantaneous velocity.


How can you add vectors?

we can add vectors by head to tail rule.THe head of first vector to the tell of second vector.And for the resultant vector we can add the tail of first vector to the head of second vector. we can add more than three vectors to give a resultant is equal to zero by joining head to tail rule as to form polygan .


When two forces act in the same direction their strengths are what?

added together, always ad vectors! Im assuming your working with vectors so "add them head to tail like elephants walk in the jungle"-Mr. Katramadakis (best teacher ever)


What is the example of head to tail rule?

In addition of vector when vector A whose head is joined to the tail of the vector B and then the tail of the vector A is linked with the tail of the resultant vector and the head of the vector B is joined with the head of the resultant vector..... it means the addition of vectors are also defined the head to tail rule..


Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant. if not can three vectors be so combined?

You should try to visualize this yourself. Draw arrows, representing vectors, on paper; draw them head-to-tail. Try to make the head of the last arrow return to the tail of the first one. The answer is no, and yes.

What is the rule for adding vectors?

The general rule for adding vectors is to hook them together "head to tail" and then draw in a resultant vector. The resultant will have the magnitude and direction that represents the sum of the two vectors that were added.


What is the three vectors arrangement if their resultant is zero?

A triangle of vectors, in which the sides are the three vectors arranged head-tail.

When does vector c equal a plus b?

If the vectors a and b are arranged so that the head of a (the arrow bit) is at the tail of b, then c must be from the tail of a to the head of b. The vectors a and b can be swapped since vector addition is commutative.

How do you get the resultant of two or more vectors?

You can add the vectors graphically - join them head-to-tail. Or you can solve them algebraically: you can separate them into components, and add the components.

Can 4 vectors not in a plane give zero resultant?

Yes if you put them "head to tail" and the head of the fourth one points to the tail of the first one the resultant is zero.
