Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To find the angle between the vector Q⃗\vec{Q} and the resultant of (2Q⃗+2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}+2 \vec{P}) and (2Q⃗−2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}-2 \vec{P}) , we first find the resultant vector of (2Q⃗+2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}+2 \vec{P}) and (2Q⃗−2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}-2 \vec{P}) .

The resultant vector of (2Q⃗+2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}+2 \vec{P}) and (2Q⃗−2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}-2 \vec{P}) can be simply found by adding these two vectors:

Resultant=(2Q⃗+2P⃗)+(2Q⃗−2P⃗)=4Q⃗\text{Resultant} = (2 \vec{Q}+2 \vec{P}) + (2 \vec{Q}-2 \vec{P}) = 4 \vec{Q}

Now, we need to find the angle between the vector Q⃗\vec{Q} and this resultant vector 4Q⃗4\vec{Q} . Since the resultant vector is just a scaled version of Q⃗\vec{Q} , they are in the same direction. The angle between any vector and another vector that is a scaled version of the first vector is always 0∘0^\circ , because they are parallel to each other.

Therefore, the angle between Q⃗\vec{Q} and the resultant of (2Q⃗+2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}+2 \vec{P}) and (2Q⃗−2P⃗)(2 \vec{Q}-2 \vec{P}) is 0∘0^\circ .

So, the correct option is:

Option B: 0∘0^\circ
