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.
If two vectors are represented by the same magnitude and direction they are said to be equal.
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.
No. Only in the equilateral case. And then they will only be equal in magnitude, not direction.
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.
When they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
If they are of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
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 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.
If both magnitude and direction are the same then the two vectors are said to be equal.
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.
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.
