The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the addition of two vectors \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \) and to determine which option represents this correctly, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vector Addition**: - Vector addition can be visualized using the triangle law of vector addition. According to this law, if two vectors are represented as two sides of a triangle, the resultant vector is represented by the third side of the triangle. 2. **Drawing the Vectors**: - Start by drawing the first vector \( \vec{A} \). This vector can be drawn as an arrow starting from a point \( O \) and pointing to a point \( A \). - Next, draw the second vector \( \vec{B} \). This vector should start from the head (the endpoint) of the first vector \( \vec{A} \). So, if \( \vec{A} \) ends at point \( A \), then \( \vec{B} \) should start from point \( A \) and point to another point \( B \). 3. **Identifying the Resultant Vector**: - The resultant vector \( \vec{C} \) is drawn from the tail of the first vector \( \vec{A} \) (which is point \( O \)) to the head of the second vector \( \vec{B} \) (which is point \( B \)). This vector \( \vec{C} \) represents the sum of \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \). 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - Now, we need to look at the provided options and see which one correctly represents this arrangement. - Check each option to see if \( \vec{A} \) starts at a point, \( \vec{B} \) starts at the head of \( \vec{A} \), and \( \vec{C} \) connects the tail of \( \vec{A} \) to the head of \( \vec{B} \). 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - After analyzing the options, identify the one that matches the arrangement described above. The correct option will show \( \vec{A} \) leading into \( \vec{B} \) and \( \vec{C} \) as the resultant vector.
