- ✓$0$
- B$60$
- C$120$
- D$90$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
a
For two vectors $A \square A \rightarrow$ and $B \square B \rightarrow$, the angle between them being $\theta \theta$, the magnitude of the resultant vector $A + B \rightarrow A + B \rightarrow$ is given by,
For two vectors $A \square A \rightarrow$ and $B \square B \rightarrow$, the angle between them being $\theta \theta$, the magnitude of the resultant vector $A + B \rightarrow A + B \rightarrow$ is given by,
$| A + B |=\sqrt{| A |^2+| B |^2+2 AB \cos \theta}$
Now in the problem we've,
$| A + B |=| A |+| B |$
Squaring on both sides,
$\begin{array}{l}| A + B |^2=(| A |+| B |)^2 \\| A |^2+| B |^2+2| A || B | \cos \theta=| A |^2+| B |^2+2| A || B | \\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=1\end{array}$
assuming neither of the vectors are $zero$ vectors.
