NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The vector sum of two perpendicular vectors is a vector with a magnitude equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the magnitudes of the two vectors. | Reason (R): The magnitude of a vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem if the vector components are perpendicular.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The assertion and reason both relate to the concept of vector addition where perpendicular components form a right triangle, allowing the use of the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant vector's magnitude.
