To subtract a given vector from another, its _ vector is added to the other one.
Correct answer: C. Negative
- A. Double
- B. Half
- C. Negative
- D. Positive
Explanation
To subtract a given vector from another, you add its negative vector to the other one. Subtraction of vectors can be achieved by adding the negative of a vector to another vector. This effectively moves in the opposite direction of the vector being subtracted.

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
