If vec(A) = 3 hat(i) + 4 hat(j) and vec(B) = 7 hat(i) + 24 hat(j) , then find a vector having the same magnitudes as vec(B)and parallel to vec(A) .

Answer»

Solution :`|vec(A)| = sqrt(3^(2) + 4^(2)) = 5`
Unit vectorint he direction of `vec(A)`is
`HAT(A) = (vec(A))/(|vec(A)|)= (1)/(5) (3 hat(i) + 4 hat(J))`
Also`|vec(B)| = sqty(7^(2) + 24^(2)) = 25`
The vector having the same magnitude as `vec(B)` and parallel to `vec(A)` .
`= |vec(B)| hat(A) = 25 XX (1)/(5) (3 hat(i) + 4 hat(j))`
`= 5 ( 3 hat(i) + 4 hat(j)) = 15 hat(i) + 20 hat(j)`
