Is it possible to add any two vectors ?

Text Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vectors**: Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Examples include velocity, force, and displacement. 2. **Conditions for Vector Addition**: For two vectors to be added, they must represent the same physical quantity. This means they should have the same dimensions. For example, you can add two displacement vectors, but you cannot add a displacement vector and a velocity vector. 3. **Different Dimensions**: If two vectors represent different physical quantities (for example, one vector is a force and the other is a velocity), they cannot be added together. This is because they do not have the same units or dimensions. ...
