The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between the vector \(\vec{P}\) and the resultant of the vectors \((\vec{P} + \vec{Q})\) and \((\vec{P} - \vec{Q})\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Resultant Vector**: The resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) of the vectors \((\vec{P} + \vec{Q})\) and \((\vec{P} - \vec{Q})\) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{R} = (\vec{P} + \vec{Q}) + (\vec{P} - \vec{Q}) \] 2. **Combine the Vectors**: Simplifying the expression for \( \vec{R} \): \[ \vec{R} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q} + \vec{P} - \vec{Q} = 2\vec{P} \] 3. **Identify the Vectors**: Now we have: - \(\vec{P}\) - \(\vec{R} = 2\vec{P}\) 4. **Determine the Angle Between the Vectors**: The angle \( \theta \) between \(\vec{P}\) and \(2\vec{P}\) can be determined. Since \(2\vec{P}\) is simply \(\vec{P}\) scaled by a factor of 2, both vectors point in the same direction. 5. **Calculate the Angle**: The angle between two vectors that point in the same direction is: \[ \theta = 0^\circ \] ### Final Answer: The angle between \(\vec{P}\) and the resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) is \(0^\circ\). ---
