NEET Physics Vectors MCQ Question
How is the resultant of two vectors A and B represented when using the head-to-tail method of vector addition?
As the third side of a triangle formed by A and B
As the sum of their magnitudes only
As the average of the two vectors
As a straight line from the tail of A to the head of B
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The head-to-tail method of vector addition shows that the two vectors and their resultant form three sides of a triangle, hence the resultant is represented as the third side of the triangle formed by A and B.
