The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Position Vector The position vector is given as: \[ \vec{r} = \hat{i} \sin t + \hat{j} \cos t - 7 \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Velocity Vector To find the velocity vector \(\vec{v}\), we differentiate the position vector \(\vec{r}\) with respect to time \(t\): \[ \vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\hat{i} \sin t + \hat{j} \cos t - 7 \hat{k}) \] Calculating the derivatives: \[ \vec{v} = \hat{i} \cos t - \hat{j} \sin t + 0 \hat{k} = \hat{i} \cos t - \hat{j} \sin t \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Acceleration Vector Next, we find the acceleration vector \(\vec{a}\) by differentiating the velocity vector \(\vec{v}\) with respect to time \(t\): \[ \vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\hat{i} \cos t - \hat{j} \sin t) \] Calculating the derivatives: \[ \vec{a} = -\hat{i} \sin t - \hat{j} \cos t \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Magnitude of the Acceleration Vector Now, we calculate the magnitude of the acceleration vector \(|\vec{a}|\): \[ |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{(-\sin t)^2 + (-\cos t)^2} = \sqrt{\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t} \] Using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1\): \[ |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{1} = 1 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that the magnitude of acceleration \(|\vec{a}| = 1\). From our calculations, we found that this statement is true. ### Step 6: Analyze the Reason The reason provided states that the angles which the vector \(\vec{A}\) makes with the coordinate axes are given by: \[ \cos \alpha = \frac{A_1}{A}, \quad \cos \beta = \frac{A_2}{A}, \quad \cos \gamma = \frac{A_3}{A} \] This is indeed a correct statement regarding direction cosines of a vector. However, it does not directly explain why the magnitude of acceleration is 1. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true and the reason is true but not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, and the reason is true but does not explain the assertion. ---

To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Position Vector The position vector is given as: \[ \vec{r} = \hat{i} \sin t + \hat{j} \cos t - 7 \hat{k} \] ...
