The resultant magnitude of two vectors of same magnitude is equal to magnitude of either. The angle between the two vectors is

  1. A \(30^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(90^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(120^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(120^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resultant of vectors is given by: \(\mathrm{R}^2=\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2+2 \mathrm{ab} \cos \theta\) Given \(R=a=b=x\) \(x^2=x^2+x^2+2 x^2 \cos \theta\) \(\begin{aligned} & -\frac{1}{2}=\cos \theta \\ & \theta=120^{\circ}\end{aligned}\)
