In order to subtract (or add vectors), you must define your frame of reference. Vectors have magnitude and direction. so they are define on an x, y, and z axis. Once the vector is referenece by it's x-y-z components (either positive or negative), then you add/subtract them just like any other number.
example v1= 3x + 5y + 5z and v2=2x+3y + 2z so, V1-V2= (3-2)x + (5-3)y + (5-2)z, which reduces to x+2y+3z

∙ 9y agoIn subtraction of vectors, simply add a negative vector. A negative vector is the same vector as its positive counterpart, only it is pointing in the opposite direction.

What are the Methods used in adding and subtracting vectors?
Triangle law of vectors or parallelogram law of vectors. Just while subtracting change the direction of the vector which is to be subtracted and add along with the one from which it is to be subtracted. Just as we change the sign and add in case of subtraction of numbers. Answer2: Vectors are added and subtracted by component. A=a1 + a2 and B=b1 + b2 then C = A + B = (a1 + b1) + (a2 + b2) = c1 + c2 .
What do you get when you subtract the force of air resitance from the force of gravity?
First of all, gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. What you mean is the force of weight, which is the acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass (all forces are vectors, and gravity is not a vector.) When air resistance is subtracted from weight, you have the net force on a falling object (assuming those are the only forces acting on it.)
What is the difference between vectors and non-vectors?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
When are magnitudes of two vectors added?
when the vectors have the same direction
Can any two vectors be added or subtracted?
Yes, all vectors can be added or subtracted.
What is it called when vectors are added or subtracted?

When vectors are added or subtracted what is the net force called?
The sum of vectors is not always a force. It might be a displacement, a velocity, acceleration, momentum, divergence, curl, gradient, etc. In any case, the algebraic combination of several individual vectors is the "resultant".

Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Can velocity vectors be combined with force vectors?
No
What are the coplanar vectors in mathematics?
Vectors that sum to zero are coplanar and coplanar vectors sum to zero.
