Two vectors ( A ) and ( B ) are such that (| A + B |=| A - B | )....
Two vectors (\vec{A}) and (\vec{B}) are such that (|). The angle between the two vectors will be-
Options
- A(60^{{}^{\circ}})
- B(90^{{}^{\circ}})
- C(180^{{}^{\circ}})
- D(0^{{}^{\circ}})
Correct answer
B. (90^{{}^{\circ}})
Step-by-step solution
()
(\Rightarrow )
Squaring both the sides, we get
(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}^2+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}^2+2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cos \theta=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}^2+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}^2-2 )
or (4 0) or (\cos 0) (since the scalar or dot product is zero). Therefore angle between () to () is (90^{{}^{\circ}})
