What is the maximum possible resultant of two vectors with magnitudes of 2 and 4 units? what is the minimum possible resultant?

Respuesta :

When two vectors are in same direction then we add up to get their resultant and in this case resultant would be maximum

R = A + B

R = 4 + 2

R = 6

If vectors are in opposite direction then they provide minimum resultant and in this case we subtract them

R = A - B

R = 4 - 2

R = 2
