Two vectors of magnitudes |A| = 8 units and |B| = 5 units make an angle that can vary from 0° to 180°. The magnitude of the resultant vector A + B CANNOT have the value of:

The question is missing the alternatives. Here is the complete question.

Two vectors of magnitude |A| = 8units and |B| = 5units make an angle that can vary from 0° to 180°. The magnitude of the resultant vector A+B CANNOT have the value of:

A. 2 units

B. 5 units

C. 8 units

D. 12 units

A. 2 units

Explanation: Vector is an entity that has characteristics as magnitude and direction. Resultant vector is the "sum" of 2 or more vectors.

In this question, the vectors have magnitude and angle varies from 0° to 180°.

When angle between vectors A and B is 0°, they are parallel and pointing to the same direction, so:

= 13

When the angle is 180°, it means vectors are in opposing directions, so:

= 3

From the calculations, we can conclude the magnitude of resultant vector varies between 3 and 13.

The least value is 3, so it cannot have a value of 2 units.
