Find the resultant velocity if x and y components are given?

Resultant is equal to the square root of the sum of the summation of x-components and the summation of y-components


How do you find vector components when given the vectors are parallel and the magnitude of each vector is equal to 1?

If they are parallel, you can add them algebraically to get a resultant vector. Then you can resolve the resultant vector to obtain the vector components.


What is the resultant of a and b if a 3i 3j and b 3i 3j?

Add the vectors by components. That is, add the "i" components, and separately add the "j" components.


What will happen if all components of a vector are reversed in direction?

Then the resultant vector is reversed.


What do you mean by resultant current?

The sharing of current between different components in an AC circuit


How do you get the resultant of two or more vectors?

You can add the vectors graphically - join them head-to-tail. Or you can solve them algebraically: you can separate them into components, and add the components.


What is difference in resultant vector and vector resolution?

the difference between resultant vector and resolution of vector is that the addition of two or more vectors can be represented by a single vector which is termed as a resultant vector. And the decomposition of a vector into its components is called resolution of vectors.


How do you solve for the resultant if two forces are in the same direction?

If two forces are in the same direction, then their resultant is also in the same direction, and its magnitude is the sum of the two components' magnitudes.


What is the result of multiplying vector components by a scalar?

If the scalar is > 1 the resultant vector will be larger and in the same direction. = 1 the resultant vector will be the same as the original vector. between 0 and 1 the resultant vector will be smaller and in the same direction. = 0 the resultant vector will be null. If the scalar is less than 0, then the pattern will be the same as above except that the direction of the resultant will be reversed.


Is it possible to have zero resultant if you have at least one of its components not equal to zero?

It is very much so possible, 2 - 2 = 0 and neither one of the subtractants are 0 but resulted in a zero resultant.


What is the formula for calculating magnitude of resultant vector?

|v| = vx|v| = Sqrt(vx2 + vy2)|v| = Sqrt(vx2 + vy2 + vz2)


How do you calculate the size of the resultant force in physics?

You have to learn vector addition. This can be done graphically, or by algebraically by adding components.
