Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( |0 \vec{a}| \) given that \( |\vec{a}| = 3 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We are given the magnitude of vector \( \vec{a} \) as \( |\vec{a}| = 3 \). - We need to find the magnitude of the vector \( 0 \vec{a} \). 2. **Scalar Multiplication**: - The expression \( 0 \vec{a} \) represents the vector \( \vec{a} \) multiplied by the scalar \( 0 \). - When any vector is multiplied by \( 0 \), the result is the zero vector, denoted as \( \vec{0} \). 3. **Magnitude of the Zero Vector**: - The magnitude of the zero vector \( \vec{0} \) is always \( 0 \). - Therefore, we can write: \[ |0 \vec{a}| = |\vec{0}| = 0 \] 4. **Final Answer**: - Thus, the value of \( |0 \vec{a}| \) is \( 0 \). ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ |0 \vec{a}| = 0 \]
