Important Questions on Addition and Subtraction of Vectors
A bus is moving on a straight road towards north with a uniform speed of turns through anticlockwise. If the speed remains unchanged after turning , the increase in the velocity of bus in the turning process is:

The sum of the magnitudes of two forces acting at point is 18 and the magnitude of their resultant is 12. If the resultant is at 90° with the force of smaller magnitude, what are the, magnitudes of forces?

Can the resultant of 2 vectors be zero ?

If the resultant of forces of different magnitudes acting at a point is zero, then the minimum value of is

What are the conditions for linear independence of vectors?

When two right-angled vectors of magnitude combine, what is the magnitude of their resultant?

The magnitude of the vector sum of two vectors is found to be equal to the sum of their magnitudes.
