Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If vector A = 5i + 5j and vector B = 5i - 5j, what is the angle between A and B?
  • Step 1: Identify the vectors A and B. A = 5i + 5j and B = 5i - 5j.
  • Step 2: Calculate the dot product of A and B. A · B = (5i + 5j) · (5i - 5j).
  • Step 3: Use the formula for dot product: A · B = (5 * 5) + (5 * -5) = 25 - 25 = 0.
  • Step 4: Calculate the magnitudes of A and B. |A| = √(5^2 + 5^2) = √(25 + 25) = √50.
  • Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of B, which is the same as A: |B| = √50.
  • Step 6: Use the formula for cosine of the angle: cos(θ) = (A · B) / (|A||B) = 0 / (√50 * √50).
  • Step 7: Since the numerator is 0, cos(θ) = 0, which means θ = 90 degrees.
