NEET Physics Vectors MCQ Question
Consider a diagram where two vectors A and B are represented in a plane and arranged such that the tail of vector B coincides with the head of vector A. The resultant vector R is drawn from the tail of vector A to the head of vector B. Which method of vector addition is being described?
Head-to-tail method
Parallelogram method
Component addition method
Polygon method
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The head-to-tail method involves arranging vectors such that the tail of one vector coincides with the head of the preceding vector, forming a triangle with the resultant vector. This is described in the NCERT context as the triangle method of vector addition.
