Suppose you add two vectors A and B. What is the angle between them to produce the resultant with the greatest magnitude? What is the maximum magnitude?
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.
