MCQ
The angle between the two vectors $\vec A = 3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k$ and $\vec B = 3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k$ will be....... $^o$
- ✓$90$
- B$0$
- C$60$
- D$45$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$90$
a
(a) $\cos \theta = \frac{{\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B }}{{|A||B|}} = \frac{{(3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k)\,(3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k)}}{{\sqrt {9 + 16 + 25} \sqrt {9 + 16 + 25} }}$
(a) $\cos \theta = \frac{{\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B }}{{|A||B|}} = \frac{{(3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k)\,(3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k)}}{{\sqrt {9 + 16 + 25} \sqrt {9 + 16 + 25} }}$
$ = \frac{{9 + 16 - 25}}{{50}} = 0$
$⇒$ $\cos \theta = 0$,
$\therefore $ $\theta = 90^\circ $
