What else can I help you with?
Resultant of two like parallel forces?
The magnitude of the resultant of two like parallel forces is the sum of the magnitudes of the forces and its direction will be same as the direction of the parallel forces.
Can you add vector like scalars or not?
No. Because vectors have direction as well as magnitude, you must take the direction into account when you add them. Example: Vector A parallel to [0,0; 0,4] Vector B parallel to [0,0; 3,0] These vectors are at right angles to each other Vector A has a magnitude of 4, Vector B an magnitude of 3. A + B = has a magnitude of 5, parallel to [0,0;3,4]
When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement force does what?
When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement, the force gets divided into two components: one perpendicular to the direction of movement and the other parallel to the direction of movement. The component parallel to the direction of movement affects the acceleration of the object, while the component perpendicular to the direction of movement does not contribute to the acceleration in that direction.
What does it mean to translate a vector?
Translating a vector is sliding it parallel to the axes - without changing its magnitude or direction.
Can a vector have 0 component along a line and still have non zero magnitude?
Huh?I have been kicking around your question in my mind for five minutes trying to figure out an answer or a way to edit your question into an unambiguous form, but I'm stumped. I don't know what you mean by "zero component along a line."If you look at the representation of a vector on paper using a Cartesian coordinate system -- in other words, one using x and y axes -- the orthogonal components of the vector are the projections of the vector on the x and y axes. If the vector is parallel to one of the axes, its projection on the other axis will be zero. But the vector will still have a non-zero magnitude. Its entire magnitude will project on only one axis.But a vector must have magnitude AND direction. And if it has zero magnitude, its direction cannot be determined.Still trying to make heads or tails out of your question.......If you draw a random vector on a Cartesian grid, it will have an x component and a y component, which are both projections of the original vector upon the axes. However, it could also be represented by projecting it onto a new set of orthogonal axes -- call them x' and y' -- where the x' axis is oriented to be parallel to the original vector and the y' vector is perpendicular to it. In that case, the x' component will have a magnitude equal to the magnitude of the original vector -- in other words, a non-zero value along a line parallel to the x' axis -- and a zero magnitude in the y' direction.
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.
Can a force at any angle perform work?
certainly. The force vector can be resolved into one component parallel to the motion of the object under force and another component perpendicular to the motion. The parallel component does the work; the perpendicular component does no work
What is the Difference between like and unlike parallel forces?
Forces which are parallel and acting in same direction are called like parallel forces. Forces which are parallel and acting in opposite direction are called unlike parallel forces.
What is meant by like and unlike parallel forces?
Like Parallel forces are the forces that are parallel to each other and have same direction. Unlike parallel forces are the forces that are parallel but have directions opposite to each other.
Does a inclined plane change the direction of the force?
No, the inclined plane does not change the direction of the force. It only changes the direction of the force component that acts parallel to the plane, but the overall force vector remains in the same direction.
What is the direction of resultant of three like parallel forces?
The direction of the resultant of three like parallel forces will be the same as the direction of the original forces. If the forces are all acting in the same direction, the resultant will also act in that direction.
What is an example when resultant force is zero but resultant torque is not zero?
A couple: 2 parallel forces equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction separated by a distance.
