Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1RE
To determine

Answer to Problem 1RE

The given statement is true_.

Explanation of Solution

A vector should have magnitude and direction.

Let A and B are two vectors of magnitudes A and B respectively.

While adding two vectors by using a diagram, start with the tail of the first vector and it head should touch the tail of the second vector.

By polygon method, the vector sum of A+B is the resultant vector R, which is drawn from the tail of A to the head of B.

Therefore, the sum is the vector from the tail of the first to the head of the second

Thus, the given statement is true_.
