A resultant vector is

equal to the sum of two or more vectors.

equal to the sum of one vector.

equal to the difference of one vector.

When subtracting two vectors, a-b=c. Does b-a produce the same resultant vector c?

Yes, but c will be pointing in the opposite direction

Yes, two vectors subtracted together always produce the same resultant vector

No, because you can't subtract two vectors

With this one, try drawing the diagram yourself to help you if you need it: A football is kicked at 12 m s -1 at an angle of 35° to the horizontal. The horizontal component of its velocity, in m s -1 , is given by

12 cos ⁡ 35 ° 12\cos\ 35\degree 1 2 cos 3 5 °

12 sin ⁡ 35 ° 12\sin35\degree 1 2 sin 3 5 °

12 cos ⁡ 35 ° \frac{12}{\cos35\degree} cos 3 5 ° 1 2

12 sin ⁡ 35 ° \frac{12}{\sin35\degree} sin 3 5 ° 1 2

Remember, do a diagram if you think it will help: A body is acted on by a vertical force of 18 N and a horizontal force of 32 N. The angle to the horizontal of the resultant force is given by

tan ⁡ − 1 ( 18 32 ) \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{18}{32}\right) tan − 1 ( 3 2 1 8 )

cos ⁡ − 1 ( 18 32 ) \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{18}{32}\right) cos − 1 ( 3 2 1 8 )

sin ⁡ − 1 ( 32 18 ) \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{32}{18}\right) sin − 1 ( 1 8 3 2 )

tan ⁡ − 1 ( 32 18 ) \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{32}{18}\right) tan − 1 ( 1 8 3 2 )
