Question

If the resultant of two vectors a and b and if the direction of reversed and the resultant is then which of the following is raise.

Open in App

Solution

$V e c t o r R = V e c t o r A + V e c t o r B$
$R = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} + 2 A B c o s θ}$
$R^{2} = A^{2} + B^{2} + 2 A B c o s θ$
If the vector reversed that means direction will be reversed now the $c o s θ$ will be negative here
$S = v e c t o r A - v e c t o r B$
$S = \sqrt{A^{2} - B^{2} - 2 A B c o s θ}$
$S^{2} = A^{2} - B^{2} - 2 A B c o s θ$
Now $R^{2} + S^{2} = 2 (A^{2} + B^{2})$
