Chapter 3: Q. 2 (page 77)

If C→=A→+B→,Can C>A+B?For each, show how or explain why not

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ccan be equal to A+BBut C cannot be greater thanA+B.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

It is given that C→=A→+B→.We need to write can C=A+Band C>A+B.If yes we need to show how or if not then we need to explain why not.

02

Step 2. Explanation

In general, the three vectors A→,B→,and,A→+B→=C→form. Since the basic triangle property states that the sum of any two sides is greater than the third.

But C=A+Bin case A→,B→are in the same position.
