The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) given the conditions: 1. \(|\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = \frac{|\vec{A} - \vec{B}|}{2}\) 2. \(|\vec{A}| = 2 |\vec{B}|\) Let's denote: - \(|\vec{A}| = A\) - \(|\vec{B}| = B\) From the second condition, we have: \[ A = 2B \] Now, substituting this into the first condition: ### Step 1: Express the magnitudes in terms of \(A\) and \(B\) Using the formula for the magnitude of the sum and difference of two vectors, we have: \[ |\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta} \] \[ |\vec{A} - \vec{B}| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the expressions into the first condition According to the first condition: \[ \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta} \] ### Step 3: Square both sides to eliminate the square roots Squaring both sides gives: \[ A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta = \frac{1}{4} (A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta) \] ### Step 4: Clear the fraction by multiplying through by 4 \[ 4(A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta) = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation This simplifies to: \[ 4A^2 + 4B^2 + 8AB \cos \theta = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta \] \[ 4A^2 + 4B^2 - A^2 - B^2 + 10AB \cos \theta = 0 \] \[ (4A^2 + 3B^2) + 10AB \cos \theta = 0 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(A = 2B\) Substituting \(A = 2B\): \[ 4(2B)^2 + 3B^2 + 10(2B)B \cos \theta = 0 \] \[ 16B^2 + 3B^2 + 20B^2 \cos \theta = 0 \] \[ 19B^2 + 20B^2 \cos \theta = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(\cos \theta\) Factoring out \(B^2\) (since \(B \neq 0\)): \[ 19 + 20 \cos \theta = 0 \] \[ 20 \cos \theta = -19 \] \[ \cos \theta = -\frac{19}{20} \] ### Step 8: Find the angle \(\theta\) Thus, the angle \(\theta\) is: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{19}{20}\right) \] ### Final Answer The angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{19}{20}\right)\). ---
