(A) The maximum resultant vector $\vec{R}_{max} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q}$ occurs when the angle between $\vec{P}$ and $\vec{Q}$ is $0^{\circ}$. In this case, both vectors point in the same direction.The minimum resultant vector $\vec{R}_{min} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q}$ occurs when the angle between $\vec{P}$ and $\vec{Q}$ is $180^{\circ}$. In this case, $\vec{Q}$ points in the opposite direction of $\vec{P}$.Since $|\vec{P}| > |\vec{Q}|$, the vector $\vec{R}_{max}$ points in the direction of $\vec{P}$, and the vector $\vec{R}_{min}$ also points in the direction of $\vec{P}$.Therefore, both resultant vectors point in the same direction, making the angle between them $0^{\circ}$.

Given $|\vec{P}| > |\vec{Q}|$. What is the angle between their maximum resultant vector and minimum resultant vector (in $^{\circ}$)?
