Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitude of the sum of the same two vectors? If no, why not? If yes, when? ONo, because of the angle between the two vectors. O Yes, if the two vectors are perpendicular. O Yes, if one of the vectors is zero. O No, it is impossible for the magnitude of the sum to be equal to the sum of the magnitudes. O Yes, if the two vectors are in the same direction.
