Question

What is range of possible values of resultant of 2 vectors

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let A and B be two vectors of magnitudes A and B. Then the possible values of the resulant R of these two vectors is;

| A - B | ≤ | R | ≤ | A + B | .

The minimum value is when the two cectors are anti-parallel, and is directed along the vector of larger magnitude. The maximum value is sum of the magnitudes if the two vector and along direction of either.

Answer 2

Answer:

What is the range of possible values if the resultant of the two vectors.

Let A and B be two vectors of magnitudes A and B. Then the possible values of the resulant R of these two vectors is;

| A - B | ≤ | R | ≤ | A + B | .

The minimum value is when the two cectors are anti-parallel, and is directed along the vector of larger magnitude. The maximum value is sum of the magnitudes if the two vector and along direction of either.
