Can two equal vects vec a and vec b at d...

Can two equal vects `vec a and vec b` at different locations in space necessarilly have identical physical effects ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes they may have same thusical effects. For example two bodies while falling under gravity, will have same acceleration though their locations may be different with respect ot a common origin .
