okay, which would make the angle 45 degrees?jedishrfu said:When you add two vectors you place the second on the tip of the first the addition is then the vector from the base of the first to the tip of the second. If you draw it out it's a triangle and since A and B have equal lengths then it's an isosolese? triangle.
Vector addition is the process of combining two or more vectors to create a new vector. This is done by adding the corresponding components of each vector together.
To add vectors graphically, you first draw each vector with its correct direction and magnitude. Then, you place the tail of the second vector at the head of the first vector. The resulting vector is the sum of the two vectors, with its tail at the tail of the first vector and its head at the head of the second vector.
The magnitude of a vector is the length or size of the vector, represented by a non-negative scalar value. It is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the magnitude of a vector is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of its components.
To find the magnitude of a vector, you can use the Pythagorean theorem or the formula: |V| = √(Vx^2 + Vy^2 + Vz^2), where Vx, Vy, and Vz are the x, y, and z components of the vector, respectively. Alternatively, you can also use the distance formula, which is the same as the Pythagorean theorem.
No, the magnitude of a vector is always a positive value. It represents the distance or length, which cannot be negative. However, the direction of a vector can be negative if it is pointing in the opposite direction of the positive axis.
