alleryWhen subtracting vectors, $\vec A-\vec B$ is evaluated as
A$\vec A + \vec B$
B$\vec B + (-\vec A)$
C$\vec A + (-\vec B)$
D$(-\vec A) + (-\vec B)$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $\vec A + (-\vec B)$
Vector subtraction is performed by reversing the direction of the vector being subtracted and then adding.
**Hence $\vec A-\vec B = \vec A + (-\vec B)$.**
