Question

Using the definition of the scalar product: A⋅B=ABcosφ

where A and B are magnitudes of A (with arrow) and B (with arrow) respectively, find the angle between the two vectors.

A.B= AB cos P
Transcribed Image Text:A.B= AB cos P
Find the angle between the two vectors
À=2î+3 ĵ +k
B=-4î +2ĵ-k
Calculate the scalar product:
АВ-А, В, +А, В, +A, B.
=(2)(-4)+3)(2)+(1)(-1)
=(-8)+6)+(-1)
=-3
