The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \(\vec{A} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = \hat{j} + \hat{k}\), we will use the formula for the cosine of the angle between two vectors: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A} = a_1 \hat{i} + a_2 \hat{j} + a_3 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = b_1 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} + b_3 \hat{k}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = a_1 b_1 + a_2 b_2 + a_3 b_3 \] For our vectors: - \(\vec{A} = 1\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}\) (where \(a_1 = 1, a_2 = 1, a_3 = 1\)) - \(\vec{B} = 0\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}\) (where \(b_1 = 0, b_2 = 1, b_3 = 1\)) Calculating the dot product: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (1)(0) + (1)(1) + (1)(1) = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the magnitudes \(|\vec{A}|\) and \(|\vec{B}|\) The magnitude of a vector \(\vec{V} = a_1 \hat{i} + a_2 \hat{j} + a_3 \hat{k}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{V}| = \sqrt{a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2} \] Calculating the magnitude of \(\vec{A}\): \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{3} \] Calculating the magnitude of \(\vec{B}\): \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{0^2 + 1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{0 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the cosine formula Now we can substitute the dot product and the magnitudes into the cosine formula: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \(\theta\) To find the angle \(\theta\), we take the inverse cosine: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle between the vectors \((\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})\) and \((\hat{j} + \hat{k})\) is: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\right) \]
