To justify the statement "If either \(\vec{a} = \vec{0}\) or \(\vec{b} = \vec{0}\), then \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\), but the converse need not be true," we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Dot Product The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is given by: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos \theta \] where \(|\vec{a}|\) and \(|\vec{b}|\) are the magnitudes of the vectors, and \(\theta\) is the angle between them. ...
