The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The modulii of cross and dot product of vector $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are $A B \sin \theta$ and $A B \cos \theta$ respectively. Therefore, the given condition, $A B \sin \theta=A B \cos \theta$ or $\tan \theta=1$ or $\theta=45^{\circ}$

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
