Yes, it is possible to add any two vectors as long as they have the same number of dimensions. The result of adding two vectors is a new vector whose components are the sum of the corresponding components of the original vectors.
No, you cannot directly add two vector quantities unless they are of the same type (e.g., both displacement vectors or velocity vectors). Otherwise, vector addition requires breaking down the vectors into their components and adding corresponding components together.
To find the sum of two vectors, you add their corresponding components together. For example, if you have two vectors A = (3, 5) and B = (2, -1), the sum would be A + B = (3 + 2, 5 + (-1)) = (5, 4).
To subtract vectors, you can simply reverse the direction of the vector you are subtracting (by multiplying it by -1) and then add it to the original vector using vector addition. This process results in the difference vector, which represents the vector between the two initial vectors.
The angle between two vectors a and b can be found using the dot product formula: a · b = |a| |b| cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the two vectors. Rearranging the formula, we can solve for theta: theta = arccos((a · b) / (|a| |b|)).
With equal angles between them - which in this case results in 360° / 3 = 120° separation between the angles.

1) Separate the vectors into components (if they are not already expressed as components). 2) Add each of the components separately. 3) If required, convert the vectors back to some other form. For twodimensional vectors, that would polar form.
Of course it is! for example, [1, √3] + [-2, 0] + [1, - √3 ] = [0, 0]. Like this example, all other sets of such vectors will form an equilateral triangle on the graph.. Actually connecting the endpoints of the 3 vectors forms the equilateral triangle. The vectors are actually 120° apart.
To find the sum of two vectors, you add their corresponding components together. For example, if you have two vectors A = (3, 5) and B = (2, -1), the sum would be A + B = (3 + 2, 5 + (-1)) = (5, 4).
No. Vectors add at rightangle bythe pythagoran theorem: resultant sum = square root of (vector 1 squared + vector 2 squared)
Yes. As an extreme example, if you add two vectors of the same magnitude, which point in the opposite direction, you get a vector of magnitude zero as a result.
Yes - if you accept vectors pointing in opposite directions as "parallel". Example: 3 + 2 + (-5) = 0
1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector. 2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the different vectors.
Sure, if the two vectors point in the same direction.When we need the sum of magnitudes of two vectors we simply add the magnitudes, but to get the magnitude of the sum of these two vectors we need to add the vectors geometrically.Formula to find magnitude of the sum of these two vectors is sqrt[ |A|2 +|B|2 +2*|A|*|B|*cos(z) ] where |A| and |B| are magnitudes of two A and B vectors, and z is the angle between the two vectors.Clearly, magnitude of sum of two vectors is less than sum of magnitudes(|A| + |B|) for all cases except when cos(z)=1(for which it becomes = |A| + |B| ). Cos(z)=1 when z=0, i.e. the vectors are in the same direction(angle between them is 0).Also if we consider addition of two null vectors then their sum is zero in both ways of addition.So, we get two caseswhen the two vectors are in same direction, andwhen the two vectors are null vectors.In all other cases sum of magnitudes is greater than magnitude of the sum of two vectors.
