Briefly explain addition of two vectors, when they act in the same direction?
Answers
Answer:
If two vectors have the same magnitude (size) and the same direction, then we call them equal to each other. For example, if we have two forces, →F1=20 N in the upward direction and →F2=20 N in the upward direction, then we can say that →F1=→F2.

A variety of mathematical operations can be performed with and upon vectors. One such operation is the addition of vectors. Two vectors can be added together to determine the result (or resultant). This process of adding two or more vectors has already been discussed in an earlier unit. Recall in our discussion of Newton's laws of motion, that the net force experienced by an object was determined by computing the vector sum of all the individual forces acting upon that object. That is the net force was the result (or resultant) of adding up all the force vectors. During that unit, the rules for summing vectors (such as force vectors) were kept relatively simple. Observe the following summations of two force vectors:
