NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

If two vectors A and B have magnitudes of 5 units and 10 units respectively, and the angle between them is 60°, what is the magnitude of their resultant vector R?

A

11.2 units

B

12.0 units

C

13.5 units

D

15.0 units

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula for the magnitude of the resultant vector, R = √(A² + B² + 2AB cos θ), and substituting A = 5, B = 10, and cos 60° = 0.5, we get R = √(5² + 10² + 2510*0.5) = 11.2 units.
