A vector \(\vec A \) is rotated by a small angle \(\Delta \theta\) radian \(( \Delta \theta << 1)\) to get a new vector \(\vec B\) In that case \(\left| {\vec B - \vec A} \right|\) is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\left| {\vec A} \right|\,\Delta \theta \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{array}{l}
Arc\,length\, = \,radius \times angle\\
So,\,\left| {\vec B - \vec A} \right| = \left| {\vec A} \right|\Delta \theta
\end{array}\)

Arc\,length\, = \,radius \times angle\\
So,\,\left| {\vec B - \vec A} \right| = \left| {\vec A} \right|\Delta \theta
\end{array}\)
