44. Two perpendicular vectors have magnitudes A and B. If B is doubled while A remains unchanged the new resultant is

A. (A+B)
B. (2A+B)
C. (sqrt{A^2+4B^2})
✓
D. (2sqrt{A^2+B^2})

📝 Explanation

The new perpendicular components are A and 2B. Hence (R=sqrt{A^2+4B^2}).

📖 Additional Information

  • (A+B)
  • (2A+B)
  • (sqrt{A^2+4B^2})
  • (2sqrt{A^2+B^2})

The new perpendicular components are A and 2B. Hence (R=sqrt{A^2+4B^2}).
