The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will break it down into three parts as stated in the question. ### Given: - \(\vec{A} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}\) - \(\vec{B} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}\) ### (i) Find the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) **Step 1: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\)** \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}) \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \] \[ = 2 \cdot 1 + (-2) \cdot 1 + (-1) \cdot 0 = 2 - 2 + 0 = 0 \] **Step 2: Calculate the magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\)** \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-2)^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4 + 1} = \sqrt{9} = 3 \] \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] **Step 3: Use the cosine formula to find the angle \(\theta\)** \[ \cos \theta = \frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|} \] \[ \cos \theta = \frac{0}{3 \cdot \sqrt{2}} = 0 \] Since \(\cos \theta = 0\), we find that: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### (ii) Find the projection of the resultant vector of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) on the x-axis **Step 1: Calculate the resultant vector \(\vec{R} = \vec{A} + \vec{B}\)** \[ \vec{R} = (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}) + (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) = (2 + 1)\hat{i} + (-2 + 1)\hat{j} - \hat{k} \] \[ = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k} \] **Step 2: Find the projection of \(\vec{R}\) on the x-axis** The projection of a vector on the x-axis is simply the coefficient of \(\hat{i}\). \[ \text{Projection on x-axis} = 3 \] ### (iii) Find a vector which, if added to \(\vec{A}\), gives a unit vector along the y-axis **Step 1: Let the required vector be \(\vec{C}\)** We need: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{C} = \hat{j} \] **Step 2: Substitute \(\vec{A}\) into the equation** \[ (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}) + \vec{C} = \hat{j} \] **Step 3: Rearranging gives us \(\vec{C}\)** \[ \vec{C} = \hat{j} - (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}) \] \[ = \hat{j} - 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \] \[ = -2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k} \] ### Summary of Results: (i) The angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\). (ii) The projection of the resultant vector on the x-axis is \(3\). (iii) The vector that, when added to \(\vec{A}\), gives a unit vector along the y-axis is \(-2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}\).

To solve the given problem step by step, we will break it down into three parts as stated in the question. ### Given: - \(\vec{A} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}\) - \(\vec{B} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}\) ### (i) Find the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) ...
