Question

Can we apply algebra to add vector quantities explain

Answer 1

Answer:

this is a vector quantity because the algebraic expression is always a vector quantity

Answer 2

No. We can't apply algebra on vector quantities.

Algebra is only applicable to pure numerical values. Vectors on the other hand not just have a numerical value (or magnitude) but they also have a direction in the plane or space.

Hence we can't use algebra on vectors, as it doesn't take into account the direction of vectors.

We have vector algebra for vectors.
