Why there is need of second condition of equilibrium if a body satisfies first condition for equilibrium?
Consider two equal and opposite forces acting along different lines of the body, which causes the body to rotate, although first condition is fulfilled but body is still moving. Thus, we need another condition for equilibrium that is the second condition of equilibrium.
The sum of two or more vectors is called a blank vector?
The two vectors are P & Q..Sum of the two vecotors is P+Q=R..R Is called the resultant vector of this two vector..the action of the resultant vector R is equal to the actions of two vectors P & Q..
The resultant vector of two particular displacement vectors does not equal the sum of the magnitudes on the individual vectors Describe the directions of the two vectors Can someone please help?
It all depends on the direction and the angles of the original vectors. The smaller the angle between them, the more force it would take to balance out all of the forces. Remember that in physics, the sum of all forces has to equal 0. Sorry I can't be a better help, but I'm only a high school student and my teacher wasn't very bright herself. But to put it in a simple experiment, 2 kids pull on 2 ropes tied to a 3rd that's connected to the other 2. If the 2 kids pull in the same direction, their forces would add together; however, if they are pulling with a 45 degree angle between them, their forces would be much weaker. Search for the exact formula. I know trigonometry is involved in finding the angles.
Two or more forces that act on an object that do not cancel each other?
If the sum of all forces acting upon an object is not zero, then the object will accelerate. (Newton's first law)
Why is science restricted to using the scientific method?
Scientific experiment must be conduct where the result of the hypothesis tested must be accurate, repeatable - reproducible and without bias. To sum up to the requirement, set of the methods and norm is sum up and become scientific methodology. Without accuracy, repeatability and credibility then the experiment would worth nothing.
When to vectors sum to zero how must they be related?
Their magnitudes are exactly equal and their directions are exactly opposite.
What are the coplanar vectors in mathematics?
Vectors that sum to zero are coplanar and coplanar vectors sum to zero.
He vector sum of three vectors gives a zero resultant what can be orientation of the vectors?
The orientation of the three vectors that sum to zero must be coplanar, contained in the same common plane, including being contained in a common line in a plane.
What is the magnitude of the two vectors having a sum of zero?
If their sum (resultant) is 0, then the magnitude of the resultant must be 0.
When Two vectors have unequal magnitude can their sum be zero explain reason?
No two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot give the sum 0 because for 0 sum the 2 vectors must be equal and in opposite direction
What must be the minimum number of vectors in a space is required so that their sum is zero?
If none of the individual vectors has a magnitude of zero, thenthe minimum number that can combined to make zero is two.
When two vectors sum to zero how are they related?
Their magnitudes are exactly equal, and their directions are exactly opposite.
If two vectors have unequal magnitudes can their sum be zero?
No, they cannot sum to zero.
What is the minimum number of vectors with equal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
What is the resultant of a group of vectors if drawing them tip to tail produces close figures?
The result is a zero vector. If the sum of the vectors forms a closed figure, the vectors sum to zero.
When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
Two vectors of unequal magnitude can their sum be zero?
No.
