The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between vector \( \vec{A} \) and the resultant of \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) and \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Resultant Vector The resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) is defined as: \[ \vec{R} = (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) + (\vec{A} - \vec{B}) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Resultant Vector Now, we simplify \( \vec{R} \): \[ \vec{R} = \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{A} - \vec{B} = 2\vec{A} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angle Between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{R} \) Now, we need to find the angle \( \theta \) between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{R} \): \[ \vec{R} = 2\vec{A} \] Since \( \vec{R} \) is just a scaled version of \( \vec{A} \) (specifically, twice the magnitude of \( \vec{A} \)), the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{R} \) is: \[ \theta = 0^\circ \] ### Conclusion Thus, the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and the resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) is \( 0^\circ \). ---
