Question

The magnitudes of two vectors A and B are A  5 units
and B  2 units. Find the largest and smallest values possible
for the resultant vector R =  A + B.

Answer 1

maximum can be = 5+2
minimum can be = 5-2

Answer 2

Thanks But How ?

Answer 3

The maximum resultant is when both vectors are in the same direction and vice versa

Answer 4

In maximum case ,Just add them

Answer 5

Thankyou everyone .

Answer 6

the resultant will be a maximum when the vectors are parallel, and a minimum when the vectors are antiparallel
