The correct Answer is:
To find a vector that is perpendicular to the given vector \(\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}\), we can use the property of the dot product. Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product equals zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Vector**: The vector we have is: \[ \vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} \] 2. **Understand the Condition for Perpendicular Vectors**: For a vector \(\vec{A} = a\hat{i} + b\hat{j} + c\hat{k}\) to be perpendicular to \(\vec{F}\), the dot product must satisfy: \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{A} = 0 \] 3. **Calculate the Dot Product**: The dot product of \(\vec{F}\) and \(\vec{A}\) is given by: \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{A} = (4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}) \cdot (a\hat{i} + b\hat{j} + c\hat{k}) = 4a - 3b + 0c \] For the vectors to be perpendicular, we set the dot product equal to zero: \[ 4a - 3b = 0 \] 4. **Solve for One Variable in Terms of the Other**: Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 4a = 3b \implies a = \frac{3}{4}b \] This means that for any value of \(b\), we can find a corresponding \(a\). 5. **Choose a Value for \(b\)**: Let's choose \(b = 4\). Then: \[ a = \frac{3}{4} \times 4 = 3 \] Now we can choose \(c\) as any value. Let's set \(c = 0\) for simplicity. 6. **Construct the Perpendicular Vector**: Thus, one possible vector that is perpendicular to \(\vec{F}\) is: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \] 7. **Verify the Perpendicularity**: To verify, we can calculate the dot product: \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{A} = (4)(3) + (-3)(4) = 12 - 12 = 0 \] Since the dot product is zero, \(\vec{A}\) is indeed perpendicular to \(\vec{F}\). ### Final Answer: One vector that is perpendicular to \(\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}\) is: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \]

To find a vector that is perpendicular to the given vector \(\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}\), we can use the property of the dot product. Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product equals zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Vector**: The vector we have is: \[ \vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} ...
