The magnitude of vectors vec(A), vec(B) ...

The magnitude of vectors `vec(A), vec(B)` and `vec(C)` are 12, 5 and 13 units and `vec(A) + vec(B) = vec(C)` . The angle between A and B is :

A

`0^@`

B

`45^@`

C

`90^@`

D

`180^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since `(13)^(@)=(12)^(2) + (5)^(2)`
`implies C^(2) =A^(2) + B^(2)`
`:.` `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are perpendicular to each other.
