Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?

In: Math and Arithmetic, Physics, Algebra [Edit categories]

Answer:

The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector.

V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.

Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?
It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A. For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is...
If a and b are two vectors and the vector product of vector a and vector b is equal to a minus b?
The question is not correct, because the product of any two vectors is just a number, while when you subtract to vectors the result is also a vector. So you can't compare two different things...
If vector A is perpendicular to vector B and C then Vector A is parallel to?
Vector A is parallel to the cross product of vectors B and C, and it is parallel to the axis that neither B or C lie along if the two other axes are defined as the axes that B and C lie along.
is not zero and vector product of two vectors A and B is not zero?
Scalar product = (magnitude of 'A') times (magnitude of 'B') times (cosine of the angle between 'A' and 'B')
