The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying two different vectors with the same magnitude, we will analyze the options provided. Let's consider option A as described in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Vectors**: - Let the first vector be \( \mathbf{A} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} \). - Let the second vector be \( \mathbf{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 1\hat{k} \). 2. **Calculate the Magnitude of Vector A**: - The magnitude of vector \( \mathbf{A} \) is calculated using the formula: \[ |\mathbf{A}| = \sqrt{(2^2) + (3^2) + (1^2)} \] - Calculating it: \[ |\mathbf{A}| = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 1} = \sqrt{14} \] 3. **Calculate the Magnitude of Vector B**: - The magnitude of vector \( \mathbf{B} \) is calculated similarly: \[ |\mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{(2^2) + (3^2) + (-1^2)} \] - Calculating it: \[ |\mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 1} = \sqrt{14} \] 4. **Compare the Magnitudes**: - From the calculations, we find: \[ |\mathbf{A}| = \sqrt{14} \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{14} \] - Both vectors have the same magnitude. 5. **Check if the Vectors are Different**: - The vector \( \mathbf{A} \) has a positive \( \hat{k} \) component, while vector \( \mathbf{B} \) has a negative \( \hat{k} \) component. - Therefore, \( \mathbf{A} \neq \mathbf{B} \). ### Conclusion: The vectors \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \) are different vectors that have the same magnitude. Thus, option A represents two different vectors with the same magnitude.
