The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the change in magnitude of a vector when it is rotated by a given angle \( \theta \). The change in magnitude is given as \( n \cdot x \), where \( x \) is the original magnitude of the vector. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Change in Vector Magnitude**: The change in magnitude of the vector when rotated by an angle \( \theta \) can be expressed using the formula: \[ \Delta r = \sqrt{r_1^2 + r_2^2 - 2r_1r_2 \cos(\theta)} \] where \( r_1 = x \) and \( r_2 = x \) (since both vectors have the same magnitude). 2. **Simplifying the Expression**: Substituting \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) into the equation: \[ \Delta r = \sqrt{x^2 + x^2 - 2x^2 \cos(\theta)} = \sqrt{2x^2(1 - \cos(\theta))} \] This simplifies to: \[ \Delta r = x \sqrt{2(1 - \cos(\theta))} \] 3. **Using the Sine Double Angle Identity**: We can use the identity \( 1 - \cos(\theta) = 2\sin^2(\theta/2) \): \[ \Delta r = x \sqrt{2 \cdot 2\sin^2(\theta/2)} = 2x \sin(\theta/2) \] 4. **Finding \( n \)**: We know that \( \Delta r = n \cdot x \), thus: \[ n = \frac{\Delta r}{x} = 2 \sin(\theta/2) \] 5. **Calculating \( n \) for Different Angles**: Now we will calculate \( n \) for each angle given in the options: - **For \( \theta = 60^\circ \)**: \[ n = 2 \sin(30^\circ) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 1 \quad \text{(matches with Q)} \] - **For \( \theta = 90^\circ \)**: \[ n = 2 \sin(45^\circ) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} \quad \text{(matches with R)} \] - **For \( \theta = 120^\circ \)**: \[ n = 2 \sin(60^\circ) = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} \quad \text{(matches with P)} \] - **For \( \theta = 180^\circ \)**: \[ n = 2 \sin(90^\circ) = 2 \cdot 1 = 2 \quad \text{(matches with S)} \] ### Final Matching: - A (60°) matches with Q (n = 1) - B (90°) matches with R (n = √2) - C (120°) matches with P (n = √3) - D (180°) matches with S (n = 2) ### Summary of Matches: - A - Q - B - R - C - P - D - S
