Explanation of Vector Subtraction and Angle between Vectors
Vector Subtraction
Vector subtraction is the process of finding the difference between two vectors. When two vectors have the same magnitude, their vector subtraction is equal to the magnitude of either vector. This is because the two vectors are pointing in opposite directions and their magnitudes cancel each other out.
For example, if we have two vectors A and B with the same magnitude, their vector subtraction would be:
A - B = |A|
or
B - A = |B|
Angle between Vectors
The angle between two vectors is the angle formed by the two vectors when they are placed tail to tail. This angle can be calculated using the dot product of the two vectors.
When the dot product of two vectors is positive, the angle between them is less than 90 degrees (acute angle). When the dot product is negative, the angle between them is greater than 90 degrees (obtuse angle). When the dot product is zero, the two vectors are perpendicular to each other (right angle).
Therefore, the answer to the given question is D) 90 degrees.
Explanation: When two vectors have the same magnitude, their subtraction will result in a zero vector. This means that the angle between the two vectors will be 90 degrees, as they are perpendicular to each other.
