Vectors

Question:

The angle between 2 vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ with magnitude 1 and 2 respectively when $\vec{a} . \vec{b}=1$ is:

Options:

$\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{3}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{\pi}{3}$

$|\vec{a}|=1$, $|\vec{b}|=2$

so $\vec a.\vec b=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\cos θ$

$⇒1=1×2\cos θ⇒\cos θ=\frac{1}{2}$

$θ=\frac{\pi}{3}$
