The class 12 students need to have proper guidance to complete their homework and prepare for their exams. But this is nearly impossible as a teacher or a tutor cannot standby a student for 24 x 7. Students must have the flexibility to check their answers and clarify their doubts at any time. Especially, the ones who are weak in mathematics and the concept of Scalar and Dot Product must find a proper solution book. RD Sharma Solutions The one that is most recommended for these students is the RD Sharma Class 12th Chapter 23 VSA.

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 1

ANSWER: $\frac{\pi}{3}$
GIVEN: $|\vec{a}|=2 \quad \&|\vec{b}|=\sqrt{3} \quad \& \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\sqrt{3}$
HINTS:Use the formula of cos θ
SOLUTION:Let θ be the angle between vectors $\vec{a} \& \vec{b}$ then,
$\begin{aligned} &\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| \vec{b} \|} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{3}} \qquad\qquad\qquad[\because \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\sqrt{3},|\vec{a}|=2 \&|\vec{b}|=\sqrt{3}] \\$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{3} \qquad\qquad\qquad\left[\because \cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2}\right]$

HINTS:Use the formula of projection of $\vec{a} \text { on } \vec{b}$
SOLUTION:
$\\\text{Projection of } \vec{a} \; on\; \vec{b}=\frac{{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}}{{|\vec{b}|}}$
$=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 3

ANSWER: $\frac{4}{\sqrt{51}}$
GIVEN: $\hat{4} \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \quad \& \quad 2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}$
HINTS: you must know the formula of cosθ
SOLUTION:We know that
$\begin{aligned} &\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{(4 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k})}{\sqrt{16+9+9} \sqrt{4+1+1}}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{8+3-3}{\sqrt{34} \sqrt{6}}=\cos \theta=\frac{8}{2 \sqrt{51}} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{4}{\sqrt{51}}$

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 4

GIVEN: $3 \hat{i}+m \hat{j}+\hat{k} \quad \& \quad 2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-8 \hat{k}$ are orthogonal
HINTS: you must know about the concept of perpendicular vector
SOLUTION:if vectors are perpendicular or orthogonal then,
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0 \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow(3 \hat{i}+m \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-8 \hat{k})=0 \\$
$\Rightarrow 6-m-8=0 \quad \Rightarrow-m-2=0 \\$
$\Rightarrow m=-2$

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 5

SOLUTION: if vectors are parallel then,
$\begin{aligned} &\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\text { Here, } a_{1}=3, b_{1}=-2, c_{1}=-4 \& a_{2}=18, b_{2}=-12, c_{2}=-m \\$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{18}=\frac{-2}{-12}=\frac{4}{-m}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{-m} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{-m} \\$
$\Rightarrow m=-6 \times 4 \\$
$\Rightarrow m=-24$

$(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \cdot(\vec{a}-\vec{b})=|\vec{a}|^{2}-|\vec{b}|^{2} \qquad \qquad \qquad\left[\because(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b})=\mathrm{a}^{2}-b^{2}\right] \\$
$(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \cdot(\vec{a}-\vec{b})=|\vec{b}|^{2}-|\vec{b}|^{2} \qquad \qquad\qquad[\because|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|] \\$
$=0$

GIVEN: $(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \cdot(\vec{a}-\vec{b})=0$
HINTS:Use the identity of $\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)$
SOLUTION:
$\begin{aligned} &(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \cdot(\vec{a}-\vec{b})=0 \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}-|\vec{b}|^{2}=0 \qquad \qquad \qquad\left[\because(a+b)(a-b)=a^{2}-b^{2}\right] \\$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}=|\vec{b}|^{2} \\$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|$

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 8

ANSWER: $\vec{a} \& \vec{b}$ are parallel
GIVEN: $|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=|\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}|$
HINTS:Use algebraic identities and formulas of cosθ
SOLUTION:
$\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=|\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}| \\ & \end{aligned}$
$(|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|)^{2}=(|\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}|)^{2}\qquad[\text { Squaring both sides }]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+2|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\qquad\qquad\left[\because(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2}+b^{2}+2 a b\right] \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & &\Rightarrow 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=2|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|$
Now we know that $\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|} \qquad[\because \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|] \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=1 \quad \Rightarrow \theta=0 \qquad[\because \cos \theta=1]$
$\therefore \vec{a}$ is parallel to $\vec{b}$

ANSWER: $\vec{a} \& \vec{b}$ are perpendicular
GIVEN: $|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=|\vec{a}|-|\vec{b}|$
HINTS: Use the identity of $(a+b)^{2} \&(a-b)^{2}$
SOLUTION:

$(|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|)^{2}=(|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|)^{2}\qquad[\text { Squaring both sides }]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}-2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\qquad\left[\because(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2}+b^{2}-2 a b \&(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b})^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2}+b^{2}-2 a b\right] \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \\$
$\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \\$
$\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0 \Rightarrow 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0$
$\therefore \vec{a}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{b}$

Scalar or dot product exercise very short answer question 10

$$$ |\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=x$
We know that
$\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{8}{xx x}\qquad\left[\because \theta=60^{\circ}, \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=8, \overline{\mid a}|=| \vec{b} \mid=x\right] \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{x^{2}} \qquad\left[\because \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right] \\$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}=16 \\$
$\Rightarrow x=4 \\$
$\therefore|\vec{a}|=\vec{|b|}=4$

$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}-1=8 \quad\left[\because|\vec{b}|^{2}=1\right] \\$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}=9 \\$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|=3$

SOLUTION:
$\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=1 \\ & \end{aligned}$
$|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|^{2}=1^{2}\qquad[\text { Squaring both sides }] \\$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=1\qquad\left[\because(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+2 a b\right] \\$
$\Rightarrow 1+1+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=1 \qquad[\because|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=1] \\$
$\Rightarrow 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-1 \Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-1$
Now
$\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|^{2}=|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}-2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\qquad\left[\because(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b})^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2}+b^{2}-2 a b\right] \\ & \end{aligned}$

projection of $\vec{r}$ on y axis $\frac{\vec{r\cdot \hat{j}}}{\left | \hat{j} \right |}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{(\hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}) \hat{. j}}{\sqrt{1}} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$=\frac{0-4+0}{1}=-4\qquad[\because \hat{i} \times \hat{i}=0, \hat{j} \times \hat{j}=1, \hat{j} \times \hat{k}=0]$
projection of $\vec{r}$ on y axis $\frac{\vec{r\cdot \hat{k}}}{\left | \hat{k} \right |}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{(3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}) \cdot \hat{k}}{\sqrt{1}} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$=\frac{0-0+12}{1}=12\qquad[\because \hat{i} \times \hat{k}=0, \hat{i} \times \hat{k}=0, \hat{k} \times \hat{k}=1]$
