33. A vector has magnitude 10 N and rectangular components 6 N and 8 N. Which relationship is correct?

A. (6+8=10)
B. (6times8=10)
C. (6^2+8^2=10^2)
✓
D. (8-6=10)

📝 Explanation

The components are perpendicular so their squares add to the square of the resultant magnitude.

📖 Additional Information

  • (6+8=10)
  • (6times8=10)
  • (6^2+8^2=10^2)
  • (8-6=10)

The components are perpendicular so their squares add to the square of the resultant magnitude.
