Can someone please help me understand this question and how to get the answer? Two displacement vectors have magnitudes of 5.0 m and 7.0 m, respectively. If these two vectors are added together, the magnitude of the sum is: 1.) equal to 8.6m 2.) could be as small as 2.0m or as large as 12.0m 3.)is equal to 2m 4. or is equal to 12m. Thank you. I am really confused.

The acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, gh. Express the equation in terms of the radius R of the Earth, g, and h. &h= Suppose a 74.35 kg hiker has ascended to a height of 1893 m above sea level in the process of climbing Mt. Washington. By what percent has the hiker's weight changed from its value at sea level as a result of climbing to this elevation? Use g = 9.807 m/s² and R = 6.371 × 106 m. Enter your answer as a positive value. weight change = %
