When is a resultant zero? When three vectors are on the first quadrant of an x-y coordinate system does that resultant be zero?
A resultant is the sum of two or more vectors in the first quadrant, which represents the overall effect or direction of the combined vectors.
To calculate a resultant in first quadrant vectors, you can use the Pythagorean theorem or the parallelogram method. The Pythagorean theorem involves finding the square root of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical components of the vectors. The parallelogram method involves drawing the vectors as sides of a parallelogram and finding the diagonal, which represents the resultant.
A resultant is zero in first quadrant vectors when the vectors cancel each other out, meaning their magnitudes and directions are equal and opposite.
No, a resultant cannot be negative in first quadrant vectors. Since the first quadrant only includes positive values, the resultant will always be positive or zero.
A zero resultant in first quadrant vectors indicates that the combined vectors have no overall effect or direction. This could mean that the vectors are balanced or that they cancel each other out.
