<span>In order best to find out whether the obtained experimental results are worth mor etime and resources the group of scientists should present their results (could be done also in poster session) to other scientists in order to hear their opinion and get a feedback. The shoudl also ask another researchers to redo the experiments and to compare the results. </span>
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s per second.
Answer:
(a) 7 m
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
Given:
The magnitude of displacement vector 'a' is 3 m
The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.
The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.
(a)
Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.
So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.
(b)
When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.
So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.
