The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the vectors \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\) given the conditions \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\) and \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dot Product**: The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) is given by: \[ \vec{P} \cdot \vec{Q} = |\vec{P}| |\vec{Q}| \cos(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between the two vectors. If the dot product is zero, it implies that \(\cos(\theta) = 0\), which occurs when \(\theta = 90^\circ\). This means the vectors are perpendicular. 2. **Applying the Conditions**: - From \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\), we conclude that \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\). - From \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\), we conclude that \(\vec{A}\) is also perpendicular to \(\vec{C}\). 3. **Analyzing the Relationships**: Since \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\), it cannot be parallel to either of these vectors. 4. **Finding the Direction of \(\vec{A}\)**: The vector \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to the plane formed by \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). The direction of \(\vec{A}\) can be represented as being parallel to the cross product of \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\): \[ \vec{A} \parallel \vec{B} \times \vec{C} \] The cross product \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\) gives a vector that is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the vector \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\). ### Final Answer: The vector \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\). ---
