Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A student adds two displacement vectors with magnitudes of 3 m and 4 m respectively. Which one of the following could not be a possible choice for the resultant?

A	1.3 m
B	3.3 m
C	5 m
D	6.8 m

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The resultant of two vectors of magnitudes 3 units and 4 units is 1 unit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: The largest possible length of the vector sum of the two vectors results when the vectors are oriented in the same direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -When two vectors in the same direction are added, the magnitude of resulting vector is equal to-Infinity Learn.

Detailed explanation-4: -The resultant is the vector sum of two or more vectors. It is the result of adding two or more vectors together. If displacement vectors A, B, and C are added together, the result will be vector R. As shown in the diagram, vector R can be determined by the use of an accurately drawn, scaled, vector addition diagram.
