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.

What is the direction of the resultant vector after adding two equal and opposite vectors?

The resultant vector will have a magnitude of zero because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out. The direction of the resultant vector will be indeterminate or undefined.


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?

The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is indeterminate or undefined because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.

What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?

The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.


What kind of forces produce movement?

an equal force applied at a vector opposite the force in question.


How do you equal and opposite forces acting on objects can produce vastly different accelerations?

They can't. The vector sum of equal and opposite forces is zero, and they can't produce any acceleration at all.


What is an opposite vector?

It is a vector with the same magnitude (size) but acting in the opposite direction.


What the difference between vector and resultant vector?

Equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, they act in opposite directions to balance each other.


Suppose vector equation A plus B equals 0.how does the magnitude of B compare to that of A?

B could be either greater than, lesser than or equal to A. 7 +(-7) = 0 (-7) = 7 = 0 0 + 0 = 0
