(iv) Can the magnitude of resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either of the vectors? Explainmathematically |

Answer» Yes, if the angle between the vectors is 120 degrees. In this situation, the two vectors and their SUM (resultant) will form an EQUILATERAL triangle.Explanation:According to the QUESTION,R=A=√A^2+A^2+2A.AcosθA^2=A^2+A^2+2A.AcosθA^2=2A^2+2A^2cosθ1=2(1+cosθ)1+cosθ=1/2cosθ=−1/2=−0.5θ=cos−1(−0.5)θ=120° |
