If the magnitude of the sum of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of the difference of the two vectors, the angle between these vectors is
45°
180°
0°
90°
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the condition given:The magnitude of the sum of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of the difference of the two vectors.Let's denote the two vectors as and The magnitude of the sum of the vectors is given by:The magnitude of the difference of the vectors is given by:According to the problem, these magnitudes are equal:Squaring both sides to eliminate the square roots, we get:Simplifying the equation, we have:Adding to both sides, we obtain:Since and are magnitudes of vectors and cannot be zero, we have:The angle for which is Therefore, the angle between the vectors is This corresponds to Option 4.
