what is the associative law of vector addition
Answers
ASSOCIATIVE LAW. OF. VECTOR ADDITION. The law states that the sum of vectors remains same irrespective of their order or grouping in which they are arranged
Explanation:
Consider two vectors and . Let these two vectors represent two adjacent sides of a parallelogram. We construct a parallelogram
OACB as shown in the diagram. The diagonal OC represents the resultant vector
From above figure it is clear that:
This fact is referred to as the commutative law of vectr addition .
ASSOCIATIVE LAW
OF
VECTOR ADDITION
The law states that the sum of vectors remains same irrespective of their order or grouping in which they are arranged.
Consider three vectors , and
Applying "head to tail rule" to obtain the resultant of (+ ) and (+ )
Then finally again find the resultant of these three vectors :
