The component of a vector \( \vec{r} \) along \( x \) - axis will have a maximum value if
- A \( \vec{r} \) is along \( + \) ve \( x \)-axis
- B \( \vec{r} \) is along \( + \) ve \( y- \) axis
- C \( \vec{r} \) is along - ve \( y \) - axis
- D \( \vec{r} \) makes an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) with the \( x \)-axis
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( \vec{r} \) is along \( + \) ve \( x \)-axis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The component of a vector \( \vec{r} \) along \( x \)-axis is given as \( r \cos \theta \).
If \( \theta=0^{\circ}, \cos \theta \) will have maximum value, that is, \( +1 \).
Thus, component of a vector \( \vec{r} \) along \( x \) axis will have a maximum value if \( \vec{r} \) is along positive \( x \)-axis.
If \( \theta=0^{\circ}, \cos \theta \) will have maximum value, that is, \( +1 \).
Thus, component of a vector \( \vec{r} \) along \( x \) axis will have a maximum value if \( \vec{r} \) is along positive \( x \)-axis.
