AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a vector problem involving basic trigonometric functions, specifically relating to a 45-45-90 triangle. The user initially encountered discrepancies in their calculations but later realized the error was in squaring the formula. They confirmed that with equal magnitudes for vectors a and b, the resultant vector's magnitude is calculated as 2*|a|*sin(45/2). The user ultimately resolved the issue independently. The conversation highlights the importance of careful calculations in vector problems.

Ive done the basic trig functions and the result is different. It came out as 45 45 90 triangle and i found the h for it and done sin45 = h/c to get vector C. Am i missing something with vectors?

Assuming magnitudes of vector a and vector be be to be equal to |a|, the resultant will have magnitude = 2*|a|*sin (45/2)
 
Thanks for respond but i was just about to say that i solved it. It was my fault in squaring formula.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
