Study Notes
Vector Addition Properties
- When adding two vectors of equal magnitude but opposite directions, the result is zero.
- A correct property of vector addition is that the order of the vectors being added does not change the result.
- Subtracting a vector from itself results in a zero vector.
- When adding two vectors, their magnitudes do not necessarily add; instead, the resultant vector's magnitude is generally smaller than the sum of the individual magnitudes.
- The key difference between vector addition and scalar addition is that vector addition takes into account both magnitude and direction, whereas scalar addition only involves the addition of magnitudes.
