Vector or Cross Product Excercise: MCQ

Vector or cross product exercise multiple choice questions question 1

Answer:2a2
Given: If a is any vector, then (a×i^)2+(a×j^)2+(a×k^)2
Hint: You must know about the vector products of orthonormal triad of unit vectors.
Explanation: Let a=a1i^+a2j^+a3k^
Now,
a×i^=(a1i^+a2j^+a3k^)×i^=a1(i^×i^)+a2(j^×i^)+a3(k^×i^)[i^×i^=0;j^×i^=k^,k^×i^=j^]
=a1(0)+a2(k^)+a3(j^)=0a2k^+a3j^=a3j^a2k^
On squaring,
(a3j^a2k^)2=(a3j^a2k^)(a3j^a2k^)=(a3j^)2+(a2k^)22a3j^a2k^[j^j^=1k^k^=1j^k^=0]=a32(1)+a22(1)2a2a3(0)(a3j^a2k^)2=a22+a32
=a32(1)+a22(1)2a2a3(0)(a3j^a2k^)2=a22+a32 …………… (1)
Similarly,
a×j^=(a1i^+a2j^+a3k^)×j^=a1(i^×j^)+a2(j^×j^)+a3(k^×j^)[i^×j^=k^,j^×j^=0,k^×j^=i^]=a1(k^)+a2(0)+a3(i^)=a1k^a3i^ ………………… (2)
Again
a×k^=(a1i^+a2j^+a3k^)×k^=a1(i^×k^)+a2(j^×k^)+a3(k^×k^)[i^×k^=j^j^×k^=i^k^×k^=0]=a1(j^)+a2(i^)+a3(0)
=a1j^+a2i^
On squaring
(a2i^a1j^)2=(a2i^a1j^)(a2i^a1j^)=(a2i^)2+(a1j^)22a1a2(i^.j^)[i^.i^=1j^j^=1i^j^=0]=a22(1)+a12(1)2a1a2(0)=a22+a12 ……………… (3)
Now,
(a×i^)2+(a×j^)2+(a×k^)2=a22+a32+a12+a32+a22+a12[from(1),(2),(3)]=2(a12+a22+a32)=2a2

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 2

Answer: b=c

Given: a.b=a.c and a×b=a×c,a0

Hint: You must know about dot product and cross product.

Explanation:

a.b=a.c ………………. (1)

a×b=a×c ………………. (2)

Squaring and adding (1) and (2)

(ab)2+|a×b|2=(ac)2+|a×c|2

|a|2|b|2cos2θ+|a|2|b|2sin2θ=|a|2|c|2cos2θ+|a|2|c|2sin2θ[ab=|a||b|cosθa×b=|a||b|sinθ]

|a|2|b|2(cos2θ+sin2θ)=|a|2|c|2(sin2θ+cos2θ)|a|2|b|2(1)=|a|2|c|2(1)[sin2θ+cos2θ=1]

|a|2|b|2=|a|2|c|2|b|2=|c|2|b|=|c|b=c

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 3

Answer:32(i^+j^)

Given: The vectorb=3i^+4k^is to be written as the sum of a vectoraparallel toa=i^+j^andβ

perpendicular to a. Then a=

Hint: Ifaaaand if aaa.a=0

Explanation:

Here a=i^+j^, b=3i^+4k^

Also b=a+β ……………. (1) where aaand βa

As αaα=λaα=λ(i^+j^)α=λi^+λj^[aba=kb]

By (1)

β=bαβ=3i^+4k^λi^λj^β=(3λ)i^λj^+4k^

Now β.a=0 ………….. (2) βa

βa=(3λ)(1)λ(1)+4(0)=3λλ=32λ

 By (2) 32λ=02λ=3λ=32α=32a=32(i^+j^)α=32(i^+j^)

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 4

Answer: (2i^+j^+k^)6

Given: A unit vector is perpendicular to the plane passing through points

P(i^j^+2k^),Q(2i^k^),R(2j^+k^)

Hint: You must know how to find position vectors and magnitude of vectors

Explanation: Here

p=i^j^+2k^q=2i^k^r=2j^+k^PQ=(P.V of Q)(P.V of P)

=qp=2i^k^i^+j^2k^=i^+j^3k^QR=(P.V of R)(PV of Q)=2j^+k^2j^+k^=2i^+2j^+2k^PR=(P.V of R)(P.V of P)

=2j^+k^i^+j^2k^=i^+3j^k^

? Normal vector (n)=PQ×PR

=|i^j^k^113131|

=i^(1+9)j^(13)+k^(3+1)

n=8i^+4j^+4k^

n|=(8)2+(4)2+(4)2=64+16+16=96

n^=n|n|=196(8i^+4j^+4k^)

=146×4(2i^+j^+k^)

=(2i^+j^+k^)6

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 5

Answer: a.b=0
Given: a,b represents the diagonals of a rhombus.
Hint: You must know about the properties of rhombus
Explanation: By properties of rhombus
The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other
ab

Here θ=90
ab=|a||b|cosθ=|a||b|cos90=|a|b0ab=0

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 6

Answer: 300
Given: Vector a & bare inclined at angleθ=120. If |a|=1,|b|=2then |(a+3b)×(3ab)|is equal to
Hint: You must know about cross product.

Explanation:
|a|=1,|b|=2,θ=120
|(a+3b)×(3ab)|2=|3(a×a)(a×b)+9(b×a)3(b×b)|2
=|3(0)+(b×a)+9(b×a)3(0)|2[(a×a)=0 and (b×b)=0]
=|10(b×a)|2
=|b×a|=|b|asinθ
Substitute,
|a|=1,|b|=2,θ=120
l=|b||a|sin120 [sin120=sin(18060)=sin60=32]
=(2)(1)(32)=3
|(a+3b)×(3ab)|2=|10(3)|2=300

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 7

Answer: i^
Given: a=i^+j^k^;b=i^+2j^+2k^;c=i^+2j^k^
Hint: You must know about normal to the two vectors
Explanation: Let
d=a+be=bcd=a+b=(i^+j^k^)+(i^+2j^+2k^)=0i^+3j^+k^=3j^+k^e=bc=i^+2j^+2k^(i^+2j^k^)=0i^+4j^+3k^=4j^+3k^
A unit vector normal to the unit vector is d×e|d×e|
Now,
d×e=|i^j^k^031043|=i^(94)=5i^|d×e|=(5)2+(0)2+(0)2=25=5

Unit vector = d×e|d×e|=5i^5=i^

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 8

Answer 13(i^j^+k^)
Given: A unit vector perpendicular to both i^+j^ and j^+k^
Hint: You must know about cross product
Explanation: Let a=i^+j^;b=j^+k^
A unit vector perpendicular to both a×b|a×b|
Now,
a×b=|i^j^k^110011|=i^(10)j^(10)+k^(10)=i^j^+k^|a×b|=(1)2+(1)2+(1)2=3 Unit vector =i^j^+k^3

=13(i^j^+k^)

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 9

Answer: 10i^+3j^+11k^
Given: a=2i^3j^k^ ; b=i^+4j^2k^
Hint: You must know about cross product
Explanation: a=2i^3j^k^ ; b=i^+4j^2k^
Then,
a×b=|i^j^k^231142|=i^(6+4)j^(4+1)+k^(8+3)=10i^+3j^+11k^

  3. i^×j^=1which is wrong i^×j^=k^
  4. i^×(j^×k^)=1which is wrong
i^×(i^)=0

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 11

Answer: 27
Given: θ is the angle between the vectors 2i^2j^+4k^ & 3i^+j^+2k^, then sinθ
Hint: Using sinθ=a×b|a×b|
Solution:
$\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k} ; \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \ \Rightarrow|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}+(4)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+4+16}=\sqrt{24} \ \Rightarrow|\vec{b}|=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(2)^{2}}=\sqrt{9+1+4}=\sqrt{14} $
a×b=|i^j^k^224312|
=i^(44)j^(412)+k^(2+6)
=8i^+8j^+8k^
|a×b|=(8)2+(8)2+(8)2=64+64+64=192
sinθ=|a×b||a||b|=1922414=2×2×2×2×2×2×32×2×2×32×7=47=27
sinθ=27

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions 12

Answer: 20
Given:|a×b|=4|ab|=2
Hint: Using
|a×b|=|a||b|sinθ;
|a.b|=|a||b|cosθ
Explanation:
|a×b|=4
|a||b|sinθ=4 ……………………. (1)
Also |a.b|=2
|a||b|cosθ=2 ……………………. (2)
Squaring and adding (1) and (2)
|a|2|b|2sin2θ+|a|2|b|2cos2θ=(4)2+(2)2
|a|2|b|2(sin2θ+cos2θ)=16+4 [sin2θ+cos2θ=1]
|a|2|b|2(1)=20
|a|2|b|2=20

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 13

Answer: |a|2|b|2(a.b)2
Given: (a×b)2
Hint: Using |a×b|=|a||b|sinθ
Explanation: We know,
|a×b|=|a||b|sinθ
Squaring on both sides
(a×b)2=(|a||b|sinθ)2=|a|2|b|2sin2θ(a×b)2=|a|2|b|2(1cos2θ)(a×b)2=|a|2|b|2|a|2|b|2cos2θ………………….. (*)
We know |a.b|=|a||b|cosθ
On squaring both sides
(a.b)2=|a|2|b|2cosθ
Put in (*)
(a×b)2=|a|2|b|2|a|2|b|2cos2θ(a×b)2=|a|2|b|2(ab)2

=i^(i^)+j^(j^)+k^(k^) [j^×k^=i^i^×k^=j^i^×j^=k^]

=|i^|2=|j^|2+|k^|2 [|i^|2=1|j^|2=1|k^|2=1]

=11+1=1

Vector or cross product exercises multiple choice questions question 15

Answer: π4
Given: θis the angle between any two vectors a & b, |a.b|=|a×b|
