What is the sum of to vectors?

A variety of mathematical operations can be performed with and upon vectors. One such operation is the addition of vectors. Two vectors can be added together to determine the result (or resultant). This process of adding two or more vectors has already been discussed in an earlier unit. Recall in our discussion of Newton's laws of motion, that the net force experienced by an object was determined by computing the vector sum of all the individual forces acting upon that object. That is the net force was the result (or resultant) of adding up all the force vectors. During that unit, the rules for summing vectors (such as force vectors) were kept relatively simple. Observe the following summations of two force vectors:


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".


When you add a displacement vector to another displacement vectorthe result is?

When you add two displacement vectors together, the result is a new displacement vector that represents the combined effect of both original vectors. This new vector represents the total distance and direction moved from the starting point to the end point.


What is the term given to the net figure at results from vector addition?

The term given to the net figure that results from vector addition is the resultant vector. It represents the combination of all individual vectors' magnitudes and directions.


How are arrows used to show force vectors?

The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the resultant force. The length of the arrow indicates the amount of the force. Resultant means the net result of two or more forces.


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.


When a force equals its weight is applied on a body what is its acceleration?

The acceleration depends on the net force. So, you must add the forces together as vectors. The result in this case depends in what direction the force is applied.


The sum of two or more vectors is called a blank vector?

The two vectors are P & Q..Sum of the two vecotors is P+Q=R..R Is called the resultant vector of this two vector..the action of the resultant vector R is equal to the actions of two vectors P & Q..


What type of measurWhat term is given to the net figure that results from vector addition?

The term given to the net figure that results from vector addition is the resultant vector. It represents the combined effect of two or more individual vectors in terms of both magnitude and direction.


What is equal and opposite vector?

Equal and opposite vectors have the same magnitude but point in opposite directions. This means that the two vectors cancel each other out when added together, resulting in a net force of zero.


Why must you know the directions when finding net force?

Forces are vectors and, like all vectors, they have magnitude and direction. Forces can be added together using vector addition and to do so, it is necessary to know their directions.


The net figure that results from vector addition is called the?

The net figure that results from vector addition is called the resultant. It represents the combined effect of all the individual vectors.
