The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given vectors and their relationships. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have three vectors \( \vec{A} \), \( \vec{B} \), and \( \vec{C} \) such that: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 0 \] This implies that the vectors form a closed triangle when represented graphically. ### Step 2: Define the Magnitudes Let the magnitudes of vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) be \( x \). According to the problem, the magnitude of vector \( \vec{C} \) is: \[ |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{2} \cdot x \] ### Step 3: Visualize the Vectors Since the vectors form a triangle, we can visualize this as follows: - Vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) are equal in magnitude and can be represented as two sides of a triangle. - Vector \( \vec{C} \) is the third side, which is longer than the other two. ### Step 4: Apply the Law of Cosines To find the angles between the vectors, we can use the Law of Cosines. For triangle formed by these vectors, we can express the relationship as: \[ |\vec{C}|^2 = |\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 - 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] Where \( \theta \) is the angle between vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \). ### Step 5: Substitute the Magnitudes Substituting the magnitudes into the equation: \[ (\sqrt{2} x)^2 = x^2 + x^2 - 2x^2 \cos(\theta) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x^2 = 2x^2(1 - \cos(\theta)) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Equation Dividing both sides by \( 2x^2 \) (assuming \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ 1 = 1 - \cos(\theta) \] This implies: \[ \cos(\theta) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Find the Angle The angle \( \theta \) for which \( \cos(\theta) = 0 \) is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Step 8: Determine Other Angles Since \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) are equal in magnitude and the triangle is closed, the angles opposite to equal sides are also equal. Thus, we can denote the angles opposite \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) as \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) respectively. Using the triangle angle sum property: \[ \alpha + \beta + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \] This leads to: \[ \alpha + \beta = 90^\circ \] Since \( \alpha = \beta \), we can set: \[ 2\alpha = 90^\circ \] Thus: \[ \alpha = 45^\circ \] And: \[ \beta = 45^\circ \] ### Final Result The angles between the vectors are: - \( \angle A = 90^\circ \) - \( \angle B = 45^\circ \) - \( \angle C = 45^\circ \) ### Conclusion The angles between the vectors are \( 90^\circ \), \( 45^\circ \), and \( 45^\circ \). The correct option is \( 4 \). ---
