It is found that \(|\vec{A}+\vec{B}|=|\vec{A}|\). This necessarily implies:
| 1. | \(\vec{B}=0\) |
| 2. | \(\vec{A},\) \(\vec{B}\) are antiparallel |
| 3. | \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are perpendicular |
| 4. | \(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\leq0\) |
For two vectors \(\vec A\) and \(\vec B\), |\(\vec A\)+\(\vec B\)|=|\(\vec A\) - \(\vec B\)| is always true when:
| (a) | |\(\vec A\)| = |\(\vec B\)| ≠ \(0\) |
| (b) | \(\vec A\perp\vec B\) |
| (c) | |\(\vec A\)| = |\(\vec B\)| ≠ \(0\) and \(\vec A\) and \(\vec B\) are parallel or antiparallel. |
| (d) | when either |\(\vec A\)| or |\(\vec B\)| is zero. |
| 1. | (a), (d) |
| 2. | (b), (c) |

The component of a vector \(\vec{r}\) along the X-axis will have maximum value if:
| 1. | \(\vec{r}\) is along the positive Y-axis. |
| 2. | \(\vec{r}\) is along the positive X-axis. |
| 3. | \(\vec{r}\) makes an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the X-axis. |
| 4. | \(\vec{r}\) is along the negative Y-axis. |
