A) 1
B) \[\sqrt{0.11}\]
C) \[\sqrt{0.01}\]
D) 0.39
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Key Idea: Modulus of unit vector is 1. Let we represent the unit vector by \[\hat{n}\]. We also know that the modulus of unit vectors is 1 i.e., \[|\hat{n}|=1\] \[\therefore \] \[|\hat{n}|=|0.5\,\hat{i}+0.8\,\hat{j}\,+\,c\hat{k}|=1\] or \[\sqrt{{{(0.5)}^{2}}+{{(0.8)}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}}=1\] or \[0.25+0.64+{{c}^{2}}=1\] or \[0.89+{{c}^{2}}=1\] or \[{{c}^{2}}=1-0.89=0.11\] \[\therefore c=\sqrt{0.11}\] Note: In the given unit vector \[\hat{i},\,\hat{j}\] and \[\hat{k}\] are orthogonal unit vectors in mutually perpendicular directions.You need to login to perform this action.
