Answer:
14 N and 2 N
Explanation:
We have two vectors:
a = 8 N
b = 6 N
When the two vectors are in the same direction, their resultant is simply given by the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, we will have:
[tex]c=a+b=8 + 6 = 14 N[/tex]
Vice-versa, when the two vectors are in opposite directions, we have to consider one of the two vectors as being negative: therefore, the resultant will be given by the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, in this case, we will have:
[tex]c=a-b=8-6 = 2N[/tex]
