I understand questions 1 and 2 but don't quite understand questions 3 and 4
![### Vector Analysis Exercise
#### Problem 1:
Vector **A** has a magnitude of 20 and points directly "South" along the y-axis. Write this vector in Cartesian coordinates:
\[
\mathbf{A} = \ 0 \cdot \mathbf{\hat{i}} + (-20) \cdot \mathbf{\hat{j}}
\]
#### Problem 2:
Vector **B** is given below in Cartesian coordinates.
\[
\mathbf{B} = -10 \cdot \mathbf{\hat{i}} + 15 \cdot \mathbf{\hat{j}}
\]
**Instructions:**
- Sketch this vector in the xy-plane shown below.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram is a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). You will need to plot Vector **B** with coordinates (-10, 15), which suggests moving 10 units left along the x-axis and 15 units up along the y-axis.
#### Problem 3:
Determine the dot product \( \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} \).
#### Problem 4:
What is the angle between the two vectors **A** and **B**?
**Equations:**
- Dot Product: \( \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} \)
- Angle: \( \text{angle b/w} \, \mathbf{A} \, \& \, \mathbf{B} \)
Please input your answers in the spaces provided:
\[ \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]
\[ \text{angle b/w} \, \mathbf{A} \, \& \, \mathbf{B} = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3c7298e3-3d00-4a87-b4cb-338ff2975fde%2F39e56d58-f482-41c7-b5e5-f6bfb2839d70%2Frtltu84_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
