anonymous · Answer

think about how this could happen. Two forces of 50 and 25 N, resultant force of 25 N...

anonymous · Answer

That's exactly what I need- a diagram. I have no idea.|dw:1367460386063:dw|
This is my best guess

anonymous · Answer

the resultant for the two vectors is 25 N.
The resultant for any two vectors has to be somewhere between$$\left[ V_1-V_2 \right] and [V_1+V_2]$$

anonymous · Answer

in this case, what is the maximum and minimum sum of these vectors?

anonymous · Answer

I'm doing trig. I haven't learned that yet, I don't think

anonymous · Answer

for this problem you don't need any of that.

anonymous · Answer

Then what do you need? o-o

anonymous · Answer

find the maximum and minimum length of the resultant.

anonymous · Answer

Is the dotted line I drew the resultant? And even if it is, I don't see how it can be more than one value if the shape I drew is a parallelogram.

anonymous · Answer

you are adding two vectors and you don't know the angle between them because that's what you're trying to find.

anonymous · Answer

Could you draw a diagram for me, please?
