The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the implications of the statement "If vector A is perpendicular to vector B." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Perpendicular Vectors**: - When two vectors A and B are perpendicular, it means that the angle θ between them is 90 degrees. 2. **Using the Dot Product**: - The dot product of two vectors A and B is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] - Since θ = 90 degrees, we have: \[ \cos(90^\circ) = 0 \] - Therefore, \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: \( \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0 \) - This is incorrect because the cross product of two perpendicular vectors is not zero; it is equal to the product of their magnitudes and the sine of the angle between them. - **Option 2**: \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{A} + \vec{B} = |\vec{A}|^2 \) - This option is incorrect as it does not hold true in general. - **Option 3**: \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \) - This is incorrect as we established that \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \). - **Option 4**: \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = |\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}| \) - This is also incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only correct statement derived from the condition that vector A is perpendicular to vector B is: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] - Therefore, none of the provided options are correct based on the standard definitions of vector operations. ### Final Answer: None of the options are correct based on the condition that vector A is perpendicular to vector B.
