Concepts Used:
Addition of Vectors
A physical quantity, represented both in magnitude and direction can be called a vector.
For the supplemental purposes of these vectors, there are two laws that are as follows;
- Triangle law of vector addition
- Parallelogram law of vector addition
Properties of Vector Addition:
- Commutative in nature -
It means that if we have any two vectors a and b, then for them
\(\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}=\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{a}\)
- Associative in nature -
It means that if we have any three vectors namely a, b and c.
\((\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})+\overrightarrow{c}=\overrightarrow{a}+(\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{c})\)
- The Additive identity is another name for a zero vector in vector addition.
