4.3. Figure shows the orientation of two vectors u and v in the XY plane.

 

 

 

 If u=ai^+bj^ and v=pi^+qj^

which of the following is correct?

  • ) a and p are positive while b and q are negative

  • ) a, p, and b are positive while q is negative

  • ) a, q, and b are positive while p is negative

  • ) a, b, p, and q are all positive

4.4. The component of a vector r along the X-axis will have maximum value if

 

 

  • ) r is along positive Y-axis

  • ) r is along positive X-axis

  • ) r makes an angle of 45o with the X-axis

  • ) r is along the negative Y-axis

4.6. Consider the quantities of pressure, power, energy, impulse gravitational potential, electric charge, temperature, area. Out of these, the only vector quantities are

 

 

 

  • ) impulse, pressure, and area

  • ) impulse and area

  • ) area and gravitational potential

  • ) impulse and pressure

Three vectors A, B, and C add up to zero. The incorrect statements are:
a. vector (A×B)×C is not zero unless vectors B, C are parallel.
b. vector (A×B).C is not zero unless vectors B, C are parallel.
c. if vectors A, B, C define a plane, (A×B)×C is in that plane.
d. (A×B).C = |A||B||C|  C2 = A2 + B2

  • (b, d)
  • (a, c)
  • (b, c, d)
  • (a, b)

4.10. It is found that |A + B| = |A|. This necessarily implies

  • ) B = 0

  • ) A, B are antiparallel

  • ) A, B are perpendicular

  • ) A.B ≤ 0

4.15. For two vectors A and B, |A+B|=|A - B| is always true when:

a) |A| = |B|  0

b) A  B

c) |A| = |B|  0 and A and B are parallel or antiparallel.

d) when either |A| or |B| is zero.

  • (a, d)

  • (b, c)

  • (b, d)

  • (a, b)

4.1 The angle between A=i^+j^ and B=i^-j^ is

  • 45° 

  • 90° 

  • –45° 

  • 180°

The magnitude of the resultant of two forces A = 8 N and B = 6 N acting at a point angle of 90° between them is:

  • 10 N

  • 12 N

  • 14 N

  • 2 N

The scalar and vector product of two vectors, a = 3i^-4j^+5k^ and b = -2i^+j^-3k^ is equal to:

  •   -25 & 7i^-j^-5k^

  •   25 & -7i^+j^-5k^

  •   0 & -7i^+j^+3k^

  •   -25 & -7i^+j^+5k^
