The angle between A = `hati` + `hatj` and B = `hati` − `hatj` is ______.
Following are four differrent relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s):
- `v_(av) = 1/2 [v(t_1) + v(t_2)]`
- `v_(av) = (r(t_2) - r(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
- `r = 1/2 (v(t_2) - v(t_1))(t_2 - t_1)`
- `a_(av) = (v(t_2) - v(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
