Use resultant formula

\boxed{\sf R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos\theta}}

So

#1

A be p+q and B be p-q

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sqrt{(p+q)^2+(p-q)^2+2(p+q)(p-q)cos\alpha}=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2p^2+2q^2+2(p^2-q^2)cos\alpha=3p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\alpha=1

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\alpha=\dfrac{1}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\pi}{3}

#2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\beta=2(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

#3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=-(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\gamma =\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2-q^2)}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \gamma=cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2+q^2)}\right)

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

Here, let's apply the resultant vector formula :

R = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} + 2ABcos\theta}

Part (i) :

√3P² + Q² = √(P + Q)² + (P - Q)² + 2(P + Q)(P - Q)cosθ

3P² + Q² = P² + Q² + 2PQ + P² + Q² - 2PQ + 2(P² - Q²)cosθ

2(P² - Q²)cosθ = P² - Q²

cosθ = 1/2

θ = π/3 or 60°

Part (ii) :

√2(P² + Q²) = √(P + Q)² + (P - Q)² + 2(P + Q)(P - Q)cosθ

2(P² + Q²) = P² + Q² + 2PQ + P² + Q² - 2PQ + 2(P² - Q²)cosθ

2(P² - Q²)cosθ = 0

cosθ = 0

θ = π/2 or 90°

Part (iii) :

√P² + Q² = √(P + Q)² + (P - Q)² + 2(P + Q)(P - Q)cosθ

P² + Q² = P² + Q² + 2PQ + P² + Q² - 2PQ + 2(P² - Q²)cosθ

2(P² - Q²)cosθ = -P² - Q²

cosθ = \frac{-(P^{2}+ Q^{2}) }{2(P^{2}-Q^{2})  }

\theta = cos^{-1} \frac{-(P^{2}+ Q^{2}) }{2(P^{2}-Q^{2})  }

<span>Radius distance from origin to particle = √ (2²+1²) = √5 m = R 
I = MR² = (0.200)(5) = 1.00 kg-m² 
Θ = arctan 2/1 = 63.4° = R's angle CCW from horizontal 
V = 3.0 m/s 
V component that is at 90° to R = 3.0(sin 90°- 63.4°) = 3.0(sin 26.6°) = 1.3433 m/s 
w = [V component / R] = 1.3433/√5 = 0.601 rad/s 
size of angular momentum of particle relative to origin = Iw = (1.00)(0.601) = 0.601 kgm²/s</span><span>
