SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical principles of vector addition and the significance of angle convergence in calculating resultant vectors. Participants clarify that the angle between two diverging vectors can be treated as converging by applying a negative sign. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding vector operations, including vector addition and cross products, to accurately compute resultant vectors. Clear examples and precise terminology are essential for effective communication in this topic.

Why the angle between two vectors should be converging but not diverging to calculate resultant vector of the both vectors? PLEASE anyone can help me
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Can you phrase your question better? The angle between two vectors that are diverging is the same angle if you threw in a negative sign to make the two vectors converge.

Resultant vector? You mean vector addition, cross product, etc.?

Does this even count as classical physics...?
 
Your question doesn't make sense to me, either. Can you give specific examples with numbers? I suspect that English isn't your native language and you have mixed up some words.
 
Thanks for replies.Cmos your reply cleared my doubt.Thank you
