Question

In your vedio on vector subtraction you said that " since magnitude can never be negative , so min magnitude one can get is 1." But you also taught about the null vector. I'm confused in this . Shouldn't the minimum magnitude be zero ( null vector)??

Solution

minimum magnitude is not its -1 itself since cos180 =-1 and that is the minimum vector
