The correct Answer is:
To determine the correctness of the two statements given, we will analyze each one step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement The first statement is: \[ 4\hat{i} \times 3\hat{i} = \hat{0} \] #### Explanation: - The expression \( \hat{i} \) represents a unit vector in the x-direction. - The cross product of two vectors is given by: \[ \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{B} = |\mathbf{A}||\mathbf{B}|\sin(\theta) \hat{n} \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between the two vectors and \( \hat{n} \) is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \). - In this case, both vectors are \( 4\hat{i} \) and \( 3\hat{i} \), which are parallel (same direction). Therefore, the angle \( \theta = 0^\circ \). - Since \( \sin(0^\circ) = 0 \), we have: \[ 4\hat{i} \times 3\hat{i} = 0 \] #### Conclusion for Step 1: Thus, the first statement is correct: \[ 4\hat{i} \times 3\hat{i} = \hat{0} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement The second statement is: \[ \frac{4\hat{i}}{3\hat{i}} = \frac{4}{3} \] #### Explanation: - The division of vectors is not defined in the same way as scalar division. However, we can analyze the expression. - When dividing two vectors that are in the same direction, we can consider their magnitudes: \[ \frac{4\hat{i}}{3\hat{i}} = \frac{4}{3} \hat{i} \] - This means that the division results in a scalar multiplied by the direction of the unit vector \( \hat{i} \). #### Conclusion for Step 2: Thus, the second statement is incorrect because it does not yield a scalar but rather a vector: \[ \frac{4\hat{i}}{3\hat{i}} \neq \frac{4}{3} \] ### Final Conclusion: - The first statement is correct. - The second statement is incorrect. ### Summary: - **First Statement:** Correct - **Second Statement:** Incorrect

To determine the correctness of the two statements given, we will analyze each one step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement The first statement is: \[ 4\hat{i} \times 3\hat{i} = \hat{0} \] #### Explanation: - The expression \( \hat{i} \) represents a unit vector in the x-direction. ...
