The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the vectors \( \vec{A} \), \( \vec{B} \), and \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \). We know that \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) is perpendicular to \( \vec{B} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Perpendicular Vectors**: Since \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) is perpendicular to \( \vec{B} \), we can use the property of dot products. For two vectors \( \vec{X} \) and \( \vec{Y} \) to be perpendicular, their dot product must equal zero: \[ (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] 2. **Expanding the Dot Product**: We can expand the dot product: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} + \vec{B} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] Here, \( \vec{B} \cdot \vec{B} \) is the magnitude of \( \vec{B} \) squared, denoted as \( |\vec{B}|^2 \). 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = -|\vec{B}|^2 \] 4. **Using the Dot Product Formula**: The dot product \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} \) can also be expressed in terms of the magnitudes and the cosine of the angle \( \theta \) between them: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] Thus, we can substitute this into our equation: \[ |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta = -|\vec{B}|^2 \] 5. **Dividing by \( |\vec{B}| \)**: Assuming \( |\vec{B}| \neq 0 \) (since \( \vec{B} \) is a non-zero vector), we can divide both sides by \( |\vec{B}| \): \[ |\vec{A}| \cos \theta = -|\vec{B}| \] 6. **Analyzing the Equation**: Since \( |\vec{A}| \) and \( |\vec{B}| \) are both positive (as they are magnitudes), \( \cos \theta \) must be negative. This implies that the angle \( \theta \) between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. 7. **Conclusion**: The equation \( |\vec{A}| \cos \theta = -|\vec{B}| \) indicates that \( |\vec{A}| \) must be greater than or equal to \( |\vec{B}| \) in order for the equation to hold true, as \( \cos \theta \) is negative. Therefore, we conclude: \[ |\vec{A}| \geq |\vec{B}| \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the correct option is that \( |\vec{A}| \geq |\vec{B}| \).
