the sum of vectors with the Pythagorean theorem allows us to find that the maximum magnitude occurs for the case:

d) the two vectors are parallel

Vectors are physical quantities that have modulus and direction, for example: force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Vector algebra has defined the sum, the product by a scalar and by a vector.  The modulus and the direction of the resulting vector must be encoded.

The sum of two quantities is done using the Pythagorean theorem

                  c² = a² + b²

where c is the resultant called hypotenuse, a and b are the summing vectors called legs; trigonometry is used for the direction.

Let's apply this expression to the present case

a, b) perpendicular vectors

              c² = a² + b²

              c = \sqrt{6^2+10^2}

              c = 11.7

the magnitude is the same in both cases, changing the direction of the vector

c) Antiparallel vectors

             

For this case the vectors are collinear, so the sum reduces to the algebraic addition

             c = a-b

             c = 6 -10

             c = -4

d) parallel vectors

             c = a + b

             c = 4 + 10

             c = 14

We can see that the vectors addition gives their maximum and minimum values ​​when the vectors are collinear.

In conclusion using the vectors addition we find that the correct answer is

d) the two vectors are parallel

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?
Naddik [55]

Hey there!

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Spilling breaker usually occurs when a beach or ocean is flat, and as the waves of the wind continues to happen, slowly the region would eventually become a slope.

It's almost like play-dough. Let's say that we set a perfect flat surface of play-dough on the table. As we continue slide our hands one direction, doesn't the play dough have more on one side than the other? It eventually contains a slope if you add enough from the first place.

Your answer: Spilling breaker
