The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which statement is correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Analyze Statement A:** - Statement A claims that the acceleration vector of a particle moving with uniform velocity can never be a null vector. - **Explanation:** When a particle moves with uniform velocity, its velocity does not change over time. The acceleration vector is defined as the derivative of the velocity vector with respect to time (a = dv/dt). Since the velocity is constant, the change in velocity (dv) is zero, leading to an acceleration of zero. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. 2. **Analyze Statement B:** - Statement B states that a non-localized vector is also known as a fixed vector. - **Explanation:** A fixed vector is one that is localized at a specific point in space, while a non-localized vector can move freely in space. These two concepts are fundamentally different. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. 3. **Analyze Statement C:** - Statement C claims that the magnitude of a certain vector is the square root of 136. - **Explanation:** To find the magnitude of a vector given in component form (i, j, k), we use the formula: \[ \text{Magnitude} = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \] If we assume the vector components are (6, 3, 9), we calculate: \[ \text{Magnitude} = \sqrt{6^2 + 3^2 + 9^2} = \sqrt{36 + 9 + 81} = \sqrt{126} \] Since \(\sqrt{126} \neq \sqrt{136}\), this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. 4. **Analyze Statement D:** - Statement D states that vector subtraction is not associative in nature. - **Explanation:** The associative property states that for any three vectors \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\): \[ (a - b) - c \neq a - (b - c) \] If we expand both sides, we see that they are not equal. Thus, vector subtraction does not satisfy the associative property. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. ### Final Answer The correct statement is **D**: Vector subtraction is not associative in nature.
