The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the implications of the vector \( \vec{A} \) having a constant magnitude of 4. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Magnitude of the Vector**: Given that the magnitude of the vector \( \vec{A} \) is constant and equal to 4, we can express this mathematically as: \[ |\vec{A}| = 4 \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{A} = 16 \] 2. **Differentiating with Respect to Time**: We differentiate both sides of the equation \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{A} = 16 \) with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{d}{dt}(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{A}) = \frac{d}{dt}(16) \] The right-hand side is zero since 16 is a constant: \[ \frac{d}{dt}(16) = 0 \] 3. **Applying the Product Rule**: Using the product rule for differentiation on the left-hand side: \[ \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} \cdot \vec{A} + \vec{A} \cdot \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \left( \vec{A} \cdot \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} \right) = 0 \] Therefore, we conclude: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} = 0 \] 4. **Interpreting the Result**: The equation \( \vec{A} \cdot \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} = 0 \) indicates that the vector \( \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} \) is orthogonal to \( \vec{A} \). However, since \( \vec{A} \) is constant in magnitude, the only way for this to hold true is if: \[ \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} = 0 \] This means that the vector \( \vec{A} \) does not change with time. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} \) can only be: \[ \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \frac{d\vec{A}}{dt} \) is \( 0 \).
