The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) given that \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \), we can use the law of cosines. The magnitudes of the vectors are given as follows: - \( |\vec{A}| = 12 \) units - \( |\vec{B}| = 5 \) units - \( |\vec{C}| = 13 \) units ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the equation based on vector addition**: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \] 2. **Use the law of cosines**: According to the law of cosines, we can express the relationship between the magnitudes of the vectors as: \[ |\vec{C}|^2 = |\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \). 3. **Substitute the magnitudes into the equation**: \[ 13^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 + 2 \cdot 12 \cdot 5 \cdot \cos \theta \] 4. **Calculate the squares**: \[ 169 = 144 + 25 + 120 \cos \theta \] 5. **Combine the constants**: \[ 169 = 169 + 120 \cos \theta \] 6. **Rearranging the equation**: \[ 169 - 169 = 120 \cos \theta \] \[ 0 = 120 \cos \theta \] 7. **Solve for \( \cos \theta \)**: Since \( 120 \) is not zero, we can conclude: \[ \cos \theta = 0 \] 8. **Determine the angle \( \theta \)**: The cosine of an angle is zero at \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians (or 90 degrees). ### Final Answer: The angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians. ---
