The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions involving the vectors \(\vec{r}\), \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Conditions**: - \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = 0\) - \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{b}|\) - \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{c}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{c}|\) 2. **Interpret the First Condition**: - The condition \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = 0\) implies that the vectors \(\vec{r}\) and \(\vec{a}\) are perpendicular. Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \text{Angle between } \vec{r} \text{ and } \vec{a} = 90^\circ \] 3. **Interpret the Second Condition**: - The condition \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{b}|\) implies that the angle between \(\vec{r}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(90^\circ\) (since the sine of \(90^\circ\) is 1). Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \text{Angle between } \vec{r} \text{ and } \vec{b} = 90^\circ \] 4. **Interpret the Third Condition**: - Similarly, the condition \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{c}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{c}|\) implies that the angle between \(\vec{r}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is also \(90^\circ\). Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \text{Angle between } \vec{r} \text{ and } \vec{c} = 90^\circ \] 5. **Conclusion about Coplanarity**: - Since \(\vec{r}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\), we can conclude that \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) must lie in the same plane (i.e., they are coplanar). 6. **Calculate the Scalar Triple Product**: - The scalar triple product \([\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}]\) represents the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). If the vectors are coplanar, this volume is zero: \[ [\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ [\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = 0 \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions involving the vectors \(\vec{r}\), \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Conditions**: - \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = 0\) - \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{b}|\) - \(|\vec{r} \times \vec{c}| = |\vec{r}| |\vec{c}|\) ...
