The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given vectors and their relationships based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vector Equation**: We are given that \(\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 0\). This implies that the vectors form a closed triangle when placed head to tail. 2. **Setting Magnitudes**: Let the magnitudes of vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) be \(x\). According to the problem, the magnitude of vector \(\vec{C}\) is \(\sqrt{2}\) times that of either \(\vec{A}\) or \(\vec{B}\). Therefore, we can write: \[ |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{2}x \] 3. **Forming a Right Triangle**: Since the vectors sum to zero, they can be represented as a triangle. Given that \(|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{2}x\) and \(|\vec{A}| = | \vec{B}| = x\), we can visualize this as a right triangle where \(\vec{C}\) is the hypotenuse. 4. **Applying the Pythagorean Theorem**: In a right triangle, the relationship between the sides is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] Here, \(c = |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{2}x\), and \(a = |\vec{A}| = x\), \(b = |\vec{B}| = x\). Thus: \[ (\sqrt{2}x)^2 = x^2 + x^2 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 2x^2 = 2x^2 \] This confirms that the triangle is indeed a right triangle. 5. **Finding Angles**: - The angle \(\beta\) between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\) because they are the two sides of the right triangle. - To find the angles \(\alpha\) (between \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\)) and \(\gamma\) (between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{C}\)), we can use the properties of a right triangle: - Since \(\vec{C}\) is the hypotenuse, the angles opposite the sides of equal lengths (both \(x\)) will be equal. Therefore, \(\alpha = \gamma\). - The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\): \[ \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 180^\circ \] Substituting \(\beta = 90^\circ\): \[ \alpha + \gamma = 90^\circ \] Since \(\alpha = \gamma\), we can write: \[ 2\alpha = 90^\circ \implies \alpha = 45^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad \gamma = 45^\circ \] 6. **Final Angles**: - \(\angle A = 90^\circ\) - \(\angle B = 45^\circ\) - \(\angle C = 45^\circ\) Thus, the angles between the vectors are: - \(\angle A = 90^\circ\) - \(\angle B = 45^\circ\) - \(\angle C = 45^\circ\)
