Under what circumstances can a vector have components that are equal in magnitude?

(Magnitude of the vector)2 = sum of the squares of the component magnituides Let's say the components are 'A' and 'B', and the magnitude of the vector is 'C'. Then C2 = A2 + B2 You have said that C = A, so C2 = C2 + B2 B2 = 0 B = 0 The other component is zero.


What is the minimum possible magnitude of two vectors?

The minimum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is zero. That's what happens when the two vectors have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.The maximum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is the sum of the two individual magnitudes. That's what happens when the two vectors have the same direction.


What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?

-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.


When two or more vectors have different directions combine them by?

If you wish to add the vectors, then the component parts must be added. For example if one vector is 3i + 2j - 4k, (i j & k are orthogonal direction vectors in the x y and z directions respectively), and say another vector is 2i + 8k {nothing in the j direction}, you would need to add the components individually.So in this example the new i component is (3 + 2)i = 5i and the new j component is (2 + 0)j = 2j, and the new k component is (-4 + 8)k = 4k. The vector sum of those two vectors is 5i + 2j + 4k.


When two vectors are added and their magnitude is equal to the magnitude of resultan what will be angle in between them?

The angle between two vectors whose magnitudes add up to be equal to the magnitude of the resultant vector will be 120 degrees. This is known as the "120-degree rule" when adding two vectors of equal magnitude to get a resultant of equal magnitude.

If A B equals 0 what can you say about the components of the two vectors?

That their magnitudes are the same but their directions are opposite.


If A plus B equals 0 what can you say about the components of the two vectors?

The component vector sum is zero and the all components cancel out.:)


Is A plus B equals 0 what can you say about the components of the two vectors?

If A + B = 0, this means that vector A is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to vector B. In other words, the two vectors are anti-parallel to each other. This relationship indicates that the components of the two vectors cancel each other out when added together, resulting in a net vector of zero.


If A plus B equals 0 than what can you say about the components of the two vectors?

The components of these vectors will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This can be proved as follows.If A+B=0 then A=-BOr Axi+Ayj+Azk=-(Bxi+Byj+Bzk)Comparing the co-efficients of i, j, kAx=-Bx Ay=-By Az=-BzThis shows that components of A and B are equal in magnitude to each other but are opposite in direction.


Can the resultant of two vectors be 0?

Yes, but only if the size of the two vectors are the same but their direction is opposite.


What is the minimum numbers of unequal vectors to result into a null vector?

Two vectors; V1 + V2=0 where V1= -V2, two opposite vectors.


When do you get a magnitude of 0 in vector?

The magnitude of a vector is 0 if the magnitude is given to be 0.The magnitude of the resultant of several vectors in n-dimensional space is 0 if and only if the components of the vectors sum to 0 in each of a sewt of n orthogonal directions.


Can the resultant of two vectors be 0 how is it possible for two vectors always?

If they are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions.


Can the sum of 2 vectors be 0 if they are of unequal magnitude?

It is impossible if the two vectors are of unequal magnitude.


How do you add vectors that are perpendicular?

Vectors can be added graphically: draw one vector on paper, move the other so that its tail coincides with the head of the first. Vectors can also be added by components. Just add the corresponding components together. For example, if one vector is (10, 0) and the other is (0, 5) (those two would be perpendicular), the combined vector is (10+ 0, 0 + 5), that is, (10, 5). Such a vector can also be converted to polar coordinates, that is, a length and an angle; use the "rectangular to polar" conversion on your scientific calculator to do that.


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 can you say about two vectors if vector A vector B 0?

Depends on the situation. Vector A x Vector B= 0 when the sine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A . Vector B= 0 when the cosine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A + Vector B= 0 when Vectors A and B have equal magnitude but opposite direction.
