find (a) v 脳 w, (b) w 脳 v, (c) w 脳 w, and
(d) v 脳 v
v = i - j - k
w = 4i - 3k

Short Answer

Expert verified

v 脳w= 3i -j+4k

w 脳v= -3i+j -4k

w 脳w=0

v 脳v=0

Step by step solution

Step 1.Given information

v = i - j - k

w = 4i - 3k

Step 2. v× w

For two vectors

v=a₁i+b₁j+c₁k

w=a₂i+b₂j+c₂k

cross product v脳 w is written as

$v 脳 w = |\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1} \\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2} \end{matrix}| = i |\begin{matrix} b_{1} & c_{1} \\ b_{2} & c_{2} \end{matrix}| - j |\begin{matrix} a_{1} & c_{1} \\ a_{2} & c_{2} \end{matrix}| + k |\begin{matrix} a_{1} & b_{1} \\ a_{2} & b_{2} \end{matrix}|$

v = i - j - k

w = 4i - 3k

$v 脳 w = |\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ 1 & - 1 & - 1 \\ 4 & 0 & - 3 \end{matrix}| = i |\begin{matrix} - 1 & - 1 \\ 0 & - 3 \end{matrix}| - j |\begin{matrix} 1 & - 1 \\ 4 & - 3 \end{matrix}| + k |\begin{matrix} 1 & - 1 \\ 4 & 0 \end{matrix}| = 3 i - j + 4 k$

Step 3. w × v

According to the algebraic properties of cross product

w 脳 v = -(v 脳 w)

so w 脳 v= $-$ (3i-j+4k) = -3i+j-4k

Step 4. w× w and v× v

According to the algebraic properties of cross product the cross product of any vector with itself is the zero vector

(a 脳a=0).

Hence w 脳w=0 and v 脳v=0
