if |A| + |B| = |A+B| then angle between A and B is?
\[\huge \color{green}{\textbf{Welcome To Openstudy...}}\]
it is 0 degree or they are in the same direction and are on the same line.
I thought it was \(180^{\circ}\)?
It should not be 180..
That would mean one is on the same line but going in the opposite direction. That certainly wouldn't make |A| + |B| = |A + B| true
Hmm, can you explain more?
NO... Ha ha ha ha...
Drawing, anyone? :D Here are two vectors with a 180 degree angle between them |dw:1365770870377:dw|
Is it not 180 degrees? :-|
The sums of the magnitudes of these vectors would be represented by the length of this line... but the magnitude of their sum, which is roughly this vector...|dw:1365770950036:dw|
Is smaller :D
OK, thank you :-)
|dw:1365771103916:dw|
Oh look^ Doesn't that look nicer? :D
Is it that one?
Yeah, and maybe it's apparent that the sum of their magnitudes is the magnitude of their sum.
Haha, indeed.
