The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions involving the vectors \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Conditions**: - We are given that \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\). - We are also given that \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\). 2. **Interpreting the Dot Product**: - The dot product of two vectors is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\). - Since \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\), it implies that \(\cos \theta = 0\). Therefore, \(\theta = 90^\circ\). - This means that \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\). 3. **Applying the Same Logic to \(\vec{C}\)**: - Similarly, for the second condition \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\): \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{C}| \cos \phi \] where \(\phi\) is the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{C}\). - Since \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\), it follows that \(\cos \phi = 0\) and thus \(\phi = 90^\circ\). - This means that \(\vec{A}\) is also perpendicular to \(\vec{C}\). 4. **Conclusion About the Orientation of Vectors**: - Since \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\), it means that \(\vec{A}\) is orthogonal to the plane formed by \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). - Therefore, \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to the normal vector of the plane formed by \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). 5. **Final Answer**: - The vector \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to the direction that is orthogonal to the plane formed by vectors \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\).
