The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of mutually perpendicular vectors. Let's denote the vectors as \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\). Since these vectors are mutually perpendicular, we can use the properties of dot and cross products. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vectors**: - Given that \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\) are mutually perpendicular, we can visualize them as the x, y, and z axes in a 3D coordinate system. - This means: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0, \quad \vec{B} \cdot \vec{C} = 0, \quad \vec{C} \cdot \vec{A} = 0 \] 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - We need to evaluate the given options to find the correct one. 3. **Option A: \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\)**: - The magnitude of \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2} \] - When we dot this with \(\vec{C}\): \[ (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{C} = \vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} + \vec{B} \cdot \vec{C} = 0 + 0 = 0 \] - This option is incorrect as it does not yield a non-zero result. 4. **Option B: \(\vec{A} \cdot (\vec{B} \times \vec{C})\)**: - The cross product \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\) gives a vector that is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\), which is in the direction of \(\vec{A}\). - Therefore: \[ \vec{A} \cdot (\vec{B} \times \vec{C}) = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| |\vec{C}| \sin(90^\circ) = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| |\vec{C}| \] - This option is correct as it yields a non-zero result. 5. **Option C: \(\vec{B} \cdot (\vec{C} \times \vec{A})\)**: - Similarly, \(\vec{C} \times \vec{A}\) gives a vector in the direction of \(\vec{B}\). - Thus: \[ \vec{B} \cdot (\vec{C} \times \vec{A}) = |\vec{B}| |\vec{C}| |\vec{A}| \sin(90^\circ) = |\vec{B}| |\vec{C}| |\vec{A}| \] - This option is also correct. 6. **Option D: \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\)**: - The cross product \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\), which means it is in the direction of \(\vec{A}\). - If we take \(\vec{A} \times (\vec{B} \times \vec{C})\), we can use the vector triple product identity: \[ \vec{A} \times (\vec{B} \times \vec{C}) = (\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C}) \vec{B} - (\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}) \vec{C} \] - Since \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\) and \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\), this results in: \[ \vec{A} \times (\vec{B} \times \vec{C}) = 0 \] - This option is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The correct options are B and C, as they yield non-zero results. However, the question asks for the correct option, and since only one option can be chosen, we conclude that: **Correct Option: B or C (depending on the context of the question).**
