Concept explainers
Whenever you add 3 and 4, the result is 7. This is true if the quantities being added are scalar quantities. If 3 and 4 are the magnitudes of vector quantities, when will the magnitude of their sum be 5?
The condition for the addition of magnitude of two vector quantities to obtain the given result.
Answer to Problem 22A
At
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Addition of two quantities is 7 when given quantities are 3 and 4 which is scalar.
The magnitude of two vectors are,
Formula used:
The triangle law of vector addition is,
Resultant vector
The magnitude of resultant vector is,
Where,
Calculation:
For the resultant vector magnitude, substitute all the values in equation (1),
The angle is
Conclusion:
Therefore, at
