The correct Answer is:
To solve the question `overset(rarr)C = overset(rarr)A + overset(rarr)B`, we will analyze the vector addition using the triangle law of vector addition. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vector Addition**: - The equation `overset(rarr)C = overset(rarr)A + overset(rarr)B` indicates that vector C is the resultant of vectors A and B. - According to the triangle law of vector addition, if you place vector A and vector B such that the tail of vector B is at the head of vector A, the resultant vector C will be drawn from the tail of vector A to the head of vector B. 2. **Visual Representation**: - Draw vector A and vector B such that they are connected head-to-tail. This means you start from the tail of vector A and draw vector B from the head of vector A. - The resultant vector C will be represented as the line connecting the tail of A to the head of B. 3. **Magnitude of Vectors**: - The magnitude of a vector is its length. Let's denote: - |A| = magnitude of vector A - |B| = magnitude of vector B - |C| = magnitude of vector C - According to the triangle inequality, the magnitude of the resultant vector C must satisfy the following conditions: - |C| < |A| + |B| (the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side) - |C| can be equal to |A| + |B| only when vectors A and B are in the same direction. 4. **Conclusion**: - From the triangle law, we conclude that: - |C| is always less than or equal to |A| + |B|. - |C| can never be greater than |A| + |B|, and it can be equal only when A and B are collinear and in the same direction. - Therefore, the correct statements regarding the relationship between the magnitudes of these vectors are: - |C| < |A| + |B| - |C| = |A| + |B| (only when A and B are in the same direction) - |C| > |A| is not always true. ### Summary of Correct Options: - The correct options based on the analysis are: - |C| < |A| + |B| - |C| = |A| + |B| (under specific conditions)
