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.

When are two vectors said to be equal?

If two vectors are represented by the same magnitude and direction they are said to be equal.


Can you add equal vectors?

Yes, you can add vectors of equal length. Make sure they are equal by both of them having the same magnitude and direction. Otherwise, you can add equal vectors.


For any triangle made of vectors will any pair of vectors that form its sides be equal vectors?

No. Only in the equilateral case. And then they will only be equal in magnitude, not 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.


When is the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors equal to the magnitude of the sum of the vectors?

When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.


When are the magnitudes of two vectors equal to zero?

When they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.


When do you get the addition of two vectors equal to zero?

If they are of equal magnitude and opposite direction.


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?

The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is arbitrary, since it indicates that the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.


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.


What are equal vector?

If both magnitude and direction are the same then the two vectors are said to be equal.


When are magnitudes of two vectors added?

The magnitudes of two vectors are added when the vectors are parallel to each other. In this case, the magnitude of the sum is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors.


Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of vectors Explain?

No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors. Adding two vectors results in a new vector, with a magnitude and direction that is determined by the individual vectors being added.
