The resultant vector of vec(P) and vec(Q...

The resultant vector of `vec(P)` and `vec(Q)` is `vec(R )`. On reversing the direction of `vec(Q)` the resultant vector becomes `vec(S)`. Show that `R^(2)+S^(2)=2(P^(2)+Q^(2))`

To solve the problem, we need to show that \( R^2 + S^2 = 2(P^2 + Q^2) \) given the vectors \( \vec{P} \), \( \vec{Q} \), \( \vec{R} \), and \( \vec{S} \). ### Step 1: Define the Resultant Vectors The resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) when vectors \( \vec{P} \) and \( \vec{Q} \) are added is given by: \[ \vec{R} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q} \] ...
