Question 11 unsaved if you add two velocity vectors going in opposite directions, will the resultant vector be smaller or larger than the vectors you are adding? choose the correct answer with the correct reasoning. question 11 options: smaller, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity larger, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity smaller, because part of the velocities cancel each other out larger, because the part of the velocities cancel each other out

smaller, because part of the velocities cancel each other out

Let us consider two velocity  vectors A and  B.

Assume that magnitude of A is greater than equal to  magnitude of B i.e

                                                 n[A] ≥ n[B]            [Here n[X] represents the magnitude of vector X]

As per the questions the vectors are opposite in direction.

Now  we have to calculate the resultant of these two vectors.

As per parallelogram law of vector addition,the  resultant of two vectors will be-

As per the given question      [vectors are opposite in direction]

Hence the resultant

                                   [cos180= -1]

The direction of  resultant  will be always along the bigger vector.Hence it is along the direction of vector A.

   we know that n[A] ≥ n[B]  also n[A-B]≤ n[A] .

                           ⇒n [R] ≤ n[A].

      Hence the resultant of the velocities will be smaller in magnitude as part of vector B  will cancel vector  A.

Hence third option is right.

the answer is b i think
