Correct Answer: C

AI Tutor Explanation

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the relationship between vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$, we can calculate their dot product.

The dot product of $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is given by: $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot (\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})$

Calculating the dot product: $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2 \times 1) + (-1 \times 1) + (1 \times -1) = 2 - 1 - 1 = 0$

Since the dot product is 0, the vectors are perpendicular.

Correct Answer: perpendicular vectors
