Vedclass · Answer

(A) The subtraction of two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ is defined as the addition of vector $\vec{A}$ and the negative of vector $\vec{B}$.Mathematically,$\vec{A} - \vec{B} = \vec{A} + (-\vec{B})$.Here,$(-\vec{B})$ is a vector having the same magnitude as $\vec{B}$ but pointing in the opposite direction.Therefore,subtracting $\vec{B}$ from $\vec{A}$ is equivalent to adding the vector $(-\vec{B})$ to $\vec{A}$.
