The sum of the vectors A, B, C, and D is determined by drawing the vectors as a chain. Then the sum is a single vector joining the beginning of the first vector A to the end of the last vector D. TRUE OR FALSE

Step 1
So, we start with vector A, then place vector B at the head of A, vector C at the head of B, and finally vector D at the head of C. Show more…

If the sum of two vectors is zero then the magnitude of the two vectors is the same, however, if the sum of three or more vectors is zero then their magnitude may or may not be the same? Select one True or False

True or false? A scalar quantity depends only upon the initial and final values of the quantity; this is not the case for vector quantities.

State True or False: a x c = b x c implies c.a - c.b = c|a - b|, where a, b and c are general vectors. Show your solutions without skipping steps.
