What are the properties of two vectors `vecA` and `vecB` such that:
(a) `vecA + vecB = C and A + B =C `
(b) `vecA + vecB =vecC and A^(2) + B^(2) = C^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) paralle ( `theta = 0^(@)`), (b) perpendicular (`theta= 90^(@)`)

(a) `vecA + vecB =vecC`
For parallel vectors i.e., (a) `vecA + vecB =vecC`
`|vecC| = sqrt(A^(2) + B^(2) + 2AB cos theta)`
`C = sqrt(A^(2) + B^(2) + 2AB cos theta)`
`C = sqrt((A^(2) + B^(2)))`
`C = A+ B `
`i.e.," "A + B =C`
(b) `vecA + vecB = vecC`
For perpendicular vectors `i.e., theta= 90^(@)`
`|vecC| = sqrt(A^(2) + B^(2) + 2AB cos 90^(@))`
`C = sqrt(A^(2)+ B^(2))`
`C^(2) = A^(2) + B^(2)`
`A^(2) + B^(2) = C^(2)`

Two vectors vecA and vecB are such that vecA+vecB=vecC and A^(2)+B^(2)=C^(2) . Which of the following statements, is correct:-

vecA, vecB and vecC are vectors such that vecC= vecA + vecB and vecC bot vecA and also C= A . Angle between vecA and vecB is :

If veca, vecb, vecc are vectors such that veca.vecb=0 and veca + vecb = vecc then:

Find : ( veca + vecb ). ( veca - vecb ) ( A ) 1 ( B ) 0 ( C ) a^2 + b^2 ( D ) a^2 - b^2

for any three vectors, veca, vecb and vecc , (veca-vecb) . (vecb -vecc) xx (vecc -veca) = 2 veca.vecb xx vecc .

The non zero vectors veca,vecb and vecc are related by veca=(8) vecb and vecc=-7vecb. Then angle between veca and vecc is (A) pi/2 (B) pi (C) 0 (D) pi/4
