Question

$\overrightarrow{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ represent force acting on a body in Newton. $\overrightarrow{A}$ has a magnitude of $3\text{N}$. Then comment on the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{B}$

• A. $\overrightarrow{B}$ has magnitude less than $3\text{N}$.
• B. $\overrightarrow{B}$ has magnitude more than $3\text{N}$.
• C. $\overrightarrow{B}$ may have magnitude less than or more than $3\text{N}$ depending upon the acceleration of the body.
• D. $\overrightarrow{B}$ has magnitude $0$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\overrightarrow{B}$ has magnitude more than $3\text{N}$.

Since, the length of the vector is an indication of the magnitude, $\overrightarrow{B}$ has magnitude definitely more than $3\text{N}$.
