NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
In a diagram showing the vector addition of two vectors A and B using the triangle law, the vectors form a triangle with the resultant vector R. If vector A is represented by a line from point O to point P, and vector B is represented by a line from point P to point Q, which line represents the resultant vector R?
A
A line from O to Q
B
A line from Q to P
C
A line from Q to O
D
A line from P to O
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The triangle law of vector addition states that if two vectors are represented as two sides of a triangle taken in order, the third side of the triangle represents the resultant vector R, starting from the origin O to the endpoint Q.
