Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction in the same as adding a?
Forces are vector quantities. This means they have both a magnitude and direction associated with them. If you add vectors going in the opposite directions it is the same as subtracting one from the other. Therefore, the resultant force is the difference between the forces.
What is negative vector in physics?
In physics, a negative vector is a vector that points in the opposite direction to a positive vector of the same magnitude. Negative vectors are used to represent quantities or forces that act in the opposite direction within a specific coordinate system.
What is the difference between resultant and equilibrant vector?
A resultant vector is the single vector that represents the combined effect of multiple vectors. It is obtained by adding together all the individual vectors. An equilibrant vector is a single vector that, when added to the other vectors in the system, produces a net result of zero, effectively balancing out the other vectors.
Can scalar and vector quantities added by the same method?
Scalar quantities are added algebraically. But vector quantities are added using vector addition. If 3 and 4 are added only 7 is the result. If two vectors with magnitude 3 and 4 are added there will be different results such as 7, 1, 5, etc etc. 7 will be the answer if both the vectors are in the same direction. 1 will be the answer if both are in opposite direction 5 will be the answer if both act perpendicular to each other. Other innumerable answers are possible as both vectors act with different angles of inclination.
In what direction does the spring force act?
The spring force acts in the opposite direction of the displacement from the equilibrium position.

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.

Friction ask in the opposite direction of?
Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
When is the vector sum of two vectors not equal in magnitude to their algebraic sum?
In all cases except when they act in the same direction.
If 2 force act on the object in the same or opposite directions what willbe the net force of the object in 2 cases?
There is no net force OF the object. If the forces act in the same direction, the net force is magnitude of the net force is the sum of the forces and acts in the same direction. If the forces act in opposite directions, the magnitude of the net force will be the difference between their magnitudes and it will act in the direction of the larger of the two forces.
When are force said to be added and when are they subtracted?
if two forces act in same direction they r added and if they act in opposite direction they r subtracted
When two equal forces act in opposite direction they balance?
Cancel
In what direction does the spring force act?
The spring force acts in the opposite direction of the displacement from the equilibrium position.
