    When a vector is multiplied with a scalar, the result is a vector.

    Correct Option: C

    When a vector is multiplied with a scalar, the result is a vector.


  1. The magnitudes of vectors A , B and C are 3, 4 and 5 units respectively. If A + B = C , then the angle between A and B is​

    (A + B)2 = (C)2
    ⇒ A2 + B2 + 2 A.B = C2
    ⇒ 32 + 42 + 2 A.B = 52
    ⇒ 2 A.B = 0
    ⇒ A.B = 0
    ∴ A ⊥ B
    Here A2 + B2 = C2.
    Hence, A ⊥ B

    Correct Option: A

    (A + B)2 = (C)2
    ⇒ A2 + B2 + 2 A.B = C2
    ⇒ 32 + 42 + 2 A.B = 52
    ⇒ 2 A.B = 0
    ⇒ A.B = 0
    ∴ A ⊥ B
    Here A2 + B2 = C2.
    Hence, A ⊥ B

    Note that (B × A) ⊥ A . Hence their dot product is zero.

    Correct Option: B

    Note that (B × A) ⊥ A . Hence their dot product is zero.


  1. The position vector of a particle is r = (a cos ωt)î + (a sin ωt)ĵ , The velocity of the particle is

    r = (a cos ωt)î + (a sin ωt)ĵ

    v =
    dr
    =
    d
    { (a cos ωt)î + (a sin ωt)ĵ }
    dtdt

    = (-aω sin ωt)î + (aω cos ωt)ĵ
    = ω [ (-a sin ωt)î + (a cos ωt)ĵ ]
    Slope of position vector =
    a sin ωt
    = tan ωt
    a cos ωt

    & slope of velocity vector =
    -a cos ωt
    =
    -1
    a sin ωttan ωt

    ∴ velocity is perpendicular to the displacement.

    Correct Option: D

    r = (a cos ωt)î + (a sin ωt)ĵ

    v =
    dr
    =
    d
    { (a cos ωt)î + (a sin ωt)ĵ }
    dtdt

    = (-aω sin ωt)î + (aω cos ωt)ĵ
    = ω [ (-a sin ωt)î + (a cos ωt)ĵ ]
    Slope of position vector =
    a sin ωt
    = tan ωt
    a cos ωt

    & slope of velocity vector =
    -a cos ωt
    =
    -1
    a sin ωttan ωt

    ∴ velocity is perpendicular to the displacement.
