Vector is in the negative direction of a y axis, and vector is in the positive direction of an x axis. What are the directions of (a) and (b) ? What are the magnitudes of products (c) and (d) ? What is the direction of the vector resulting from (e) and (f)? What is the magnitude of the vector product in (g) part (e) and (h) part (f)? What are the (i) magnitude and (j) direction of?
Which of the arrangements of axes in Fig. 3-23 can be labeled 鈥渞ight-handed coordinate system鈥? As usual, each axis label indicates the positive side of the axis.
