Question

Six vectors a ⃗ \vec{a} a through f ⃗ \vec{f} f ​ have the magnitudes and directions indicated in the figure. Which statement is true?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Use the parallelogram/triangle law of vector addition with the directions shown in the figure. Step 2: Placing d head-to-tail with e gives the same resultant direction and magnitude as f. Therefore d + e = f. Final answer: C.
