The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \((\vec{A} + \vec{B})\) and \((\vec{A} - \vec{B})\) given that \(\vec{A} = \vec{B}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We know that \(\vec{A} = \vec{B}\). This means that both vectors are equal in magnitude and direction. ### Step 2: Substitute \(\vec{B}\) with \(\vec{A}\) Since \(\vec{A} = \vec{B}\), we can substitute \(\vec{B}\) in the expressions: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} + \vec{A} = 2\vec{A} \] \[ \vec{A} - \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{A} = \vec{0} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the Resulting Vectors Now we have: - \((\vec{A} + \vec{B}) = 2\vec{A}\) - \((\vec{A} - \vec{B}) = \vec{0}\) ### Step 4: Find the Angle Between the Two Vectors The angle \(\theta\) between two vectors can be found using the dot product formula: \[ \vec{U} \cdot \vec{V} = |\vec{U}| |\vec{V}| \cos \theta \] In our case, we have: - \(\vec{U} = 2\vec{A}\) - \(\vec{V} = \vec{0}\) The dot product of any vector with the zero vector is zero: \[ (2\vec{A}) \cdot \vec{0} = 0 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation Using the dot product formula: \[ 0 = |2\vec{A}| |\vec{0}| \cos \theta \] Since \(|\vec{0}| = 0\), the right-hand side becomes zero regardless of the value of \(\theta\). ### Step 6: Conclusion about the Angle Since the dot product is zero, it implies that the angle between the two vectors is \(90^\circ\) (as the cosine of \(90^\circ\) is zero). ### Final Answer Thus, the angle between \((\vec{A} + \vec{B})\) and \((\vec{A} - \vec{B})\) is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ---
