The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem involving the vectors \(\vec{A} = 4\hat{i} + 6\hat{j}\) and \(\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}\), we will calculate the following: 1. The dot product of the two vectors. 2. The cross product of the two vectors. 3. The magnitude ratio of the two vectors. 4. The angle between the two vectors. ### Step 1: Calculate the Dot Product The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = A_x B_x + A_y B_y \] Where \(A_x\) and \(A_y\) are the components of \(\vec{A}\), and \(B_x\) and \(B_y\) are the components of \(\vec{B}\). Substituting the values: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (4)(2) + (6)(3) = 8 + 18 = 26 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Cross Product The cross product of two vectors can be calculated using the determinant of a matrix formed by the unit vectors and the components of the vectors: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 4 & 6 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the determinant: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = \hat{i}(6 \cdot 0 - 0 \cdot 3) - \hat{j}(4 \cdot 0 - 0 \cdot 2) + \hat{k}(4 \cdot 3 - 6 \cdot 2) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0\hat{i} - 0\hat{j} + (12 - 12)\hat{k} = 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} = \vec{0} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Magnitudes of the Vectors The magnitude of a vector \(\vec{A}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2} \] Calculating the magnitudes: \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{4^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52} \] \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Magnitude Ratio The magnitude ratio of \(\vec{B}\) to \(\vec{A}\) is: \[ \text{Magnitude Ratio} = \frac{|\vec{B}|}{|\vec{A}|} = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{52}} = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{2\sqrt{13}} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Angle Between the Vectors Using the dot product and magnitudes, the cosine of the angle \(\theta\) between the vectors is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ 26 = \sqrt{52} \cdot \sqrt{13} \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Calculating \(\sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}\): \[ 26 = (2\sqrt{13})(\sqrt{13}) \cos(\theta) = 2 \cdot 13 \cos(\theta) = 26 \cos(\theta) \] Thus: \[ \cos(\theta) = 1 \implies \theta = 0^\circ \] ### Summary of Results 1. Dot Product: \(26\) 2. Cross Product: \(\vec{0}\) (null vector) 3. Magnitude Ratio: \(\frac{1}{2}\) 4. Angle: \(0^\circ\)
