The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the two vectors \(\vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the vectors We have: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \] \[ \vec{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = A_x B_x + A_y B_y + A_z B_z \] Substituting the components: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (3)(3) + (4)(4) + (5)(5) = 9 + 16 + 25 = 50 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) The magnitude of a vector \(\vec{A}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2 + A_z^2} \] Calculating the magnitude of \(\vec{A}\): \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16 + 25} = \sqrt{50} \] Since \(\vec{B}\) is the same as \(\vec{A}\), we have: \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{50} \] ### Step 4: Use the dot product to find the cosine of the angle The formula relating the dot product and the angle \(\theta\) between two vectors is: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ 50 = \sqrt{50} \cdot \sqrt{50} \cdot \cos \theta \] This simplifies to: \[ 50 = 50 \cos \theta \] Dividing both sides by 50: \[ \cos \theta = 1 \] ### Step 5: Find the angle \(\theta\) The angle whose cosine is 1 is: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}(1) = 0^\circ \] ### Conclusion The angle between the two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(0^\circ\). ---

To find the angle between the two vectors \(\vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the vectors We have: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \] \[ ...
