The component of a vector \( \vec{r} \) along \( x \) - axis will have a maximum value if

  1. A \( \vec{r} \) is along \( + \) ve \( x \)-axis
  2. B \( \vec{r} \) is along \( + \) ve \( y- \) axis
  3. C \( \vec{r} \) is along - ve \( y \) - axis
  4. D \( \vec{r} \) makes an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) with the \( x \)-axis
Verified Solution

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.
