The correct Answer is:
Let's analyze each of the statements one by one to determine whether they are true or false. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (1):** `vec(AB) = vec(BA)` - **Analysis:** The vector `vec(AB)` points from point A to point B, while `vec(BA)` points from point B to point A. They have the same magnitude but opposite directions. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **False**. 2. **Statement (2):** `vec(AB) = -vec(BA)` - **Analysis:** Since `vec(AB)` points from A to B and `vec(BA)` points from B to A, we can say that `vec(AB)` is indeed the negative of `vec(BA)`. This means that if you reverse the direction of `vec(BA)`, you get `vec(AB)`. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True**. 3. **Statement (3):** `|vec(AB)| = |vec(BA)|` - **Analysis:** Both vectors `vec(AB)` and `vec(BA)` have the same magnitude because they represent the same distance between points A and B, regardless of direction. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True**. 4. **Statement (4):** `|vec(AB)| = |-vec(AB)|` - **Analysis:** The magnitude of a vector is always a non-negative quantity. Therefore, the magnitude of `vec(AB)` is equal to the magnitude of `-vec(AB)`, since both represent the same distance. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True**. 5. **Statement (5):** `hatj = hatk` - **Analysis:** The unit vector `hatj` represents the y-axis direction, while `hatk` represents the z-axis direction. These are different directions. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **False**. 6. **Statement (6):** `|hatj| = |hatk|` - **Analysis:** Both `hatj` and `hatk` are unit vectors, meaning their magnitudes are both equal to 1. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True**. ### Final Summary of Statements: 1. False 2. True 3. True 4. True 5. False 6. True
