when the angle between them is 90 degrees...
so dot product is cos90=0
and cross product is 0 when angle is 0 degree...so sin0=0

he is saying the resultant. two vectors can have zero resultant if both are of equal magnitude and opposite direction or if both are null vectors...

Agar aap 90 baar paap karoge to keval 45 baar hi pakde jaoge......batao
kyu????* *


b'cos.... sin90=cot 45

If the vectors are equal and oposite in magnitude...
or they form a closed loop.. their resultant is zero...

evn i fthey r null vectors their resultant is zero....



rate if useful n nudge me 4 ne probs....

lemme clear evrything


 


Resultant iz sum of two vectors...if two vectors are parallel and in same direction....then dere sum will b direct a+b...for e.g 4+3 = 7....


but if d vectorz r in opposite direction..dat iz 180 degree opposite...den detre resultant will b substranction..


nd we'll write..A+(-B)..


when two vectors are equal and opposite....den dere sum(resultant) becomes zero..


for e.g    A+(-A)=0...


got it.


 


rate me plz if u lykd my answer...


?? ????? b ?? ??????? ??

the resultant is zero when two vectors of equal magnitude are anti-parallel (at 180 degrees) to each other.

the resultant  of two vectors is zero in the following cases:  


1. if calculating dot product, if the vectors are perpendicular to each other.


2. if calculating cross product, if the angle between the vectors is 0 or if they are parallel to each  other.

I think many have confusion about resultant and vector products(dot & cross).


In practice, resultant between two vectors is possible only if it is of same type like displacement,force,velocity etc.


Products vectors is possible mathematically in any case but in reality only between certain vectors there can be any meaningful products. Mostly these vectors will be of different nature.


Eg: Dot product of Force and displacement is work. It is not resultant


       Cross product of  Force and position vector is Torque or moment


There can't be anything like resultant of force and displacement.


Also the magnitude differs! Dot product is A^ .B^=ABCos @


but  their resultant for namesake would have been  A^2+B^2+2ABcos@

for zero resultant one of the vextors should be directionally opposite of the other so that angle b/w dem is 180

When 2 vectors have eq magnitude but angle between them is 180 degree then resultant is 0

R=sq rt(a2+b2+2abcos(T))

=sq rt(a2+a2+2a2cos180)

=sqrt (2a2-2a2)

=0

pls:2 followed by each alphabet denotes square
