Lecture 2, Act 2
Vectors
Vector A = {0,2,1}
Vector B = {3,0,2}
Vector C = {1,-4,2}
(a) {3,5,-1}
(b) {4,-2,5}
(c) {5,-2,4}
Definition:
a.b = ab cos
ba
ab
Some properties:
ab = b a
q(ab) = (qb) a = b(qa) (q is a scalar)
a(b + c) = (ab) + (ac) (c is a vector)
Physics 111: Lecture 2, Pg 10
The dot product of perpendicular vectors is 0 !!
i.i=j.j=k.k=1
i.j=j.k=k.i=0
Suppose
a=1i+2j+3k
b=4i -5j+6k
Then
a . b = 1x4 + 2x(-5) + 3x6 = 12
a . a = 1x1 +
2x2 + 3x3 = 14
b . b = 4x4 + (-5)x(-5) + 6x6 = 77
Magnitude:
a2 = |a|2 = a . a
= (ax i + ay j) . (ax i + ay j)
j
= ax 2(ii . i) + ay 2(jj . j) + 2ax ay (ii . j)
= ax 2 + ay 2
