In a meeting of mimes, mime 1 goes through a displacementd→1=(4.00m)iÁåœ+(5.00m)jÁåœand mime 2 goes through a displacementd→2=(-3.0m)iÁåœ+(4.0m)jÁåœ. What are (a) d→1×d→2, (b) d→1.d→2, (c) (d→1+d→2)d→2, and (d) the component ofd→1along the direction ofd→2? (Hint: For (d), see Eq.3-20and fig3-18.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The cross product d→1×d→2is 31kÁåœ.

(b) The dot product d→1.d→2is 8.0

(c) The vector operation role="math" localid="1657946010899" (d→1+d→2)d→2is equal to 33

(d) The component of d→1along the direction of d→2is 1.6

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The vectors are given below:

d→1=4.0iÁåœ+5.01jÁåœd→2=-3.0iÁåœ+4.0jÁåœ

02

Understanding the concept

Usethe rules of vector product, dot product, and cross product. The dot product of two vectors is a scalar quantity and the cross product of two vectors is a vector quantity.

The angle between the vectors can be calculated as,

cosθ=d1→.d→2d1.d2 (i)

The cross product is calculated as,

A→×B→=iÁåœAyBz-AzBy-jÁåœAxBz-AzBx+kÁåœAxBy-AyBx (ii)

03

Calculate d→1×d→2

Given vectors do not have kÁåœcomponents, so iÁåœand jÁåœcomponents of the cross product would be zero. Hence, we have only kÁåœcomponent in the cross product. The cross product can be found using equation (ii) as follows:

d→1×d→2=4iÁåœ+5.01jÁåœÃ—-3iÁåœ+04jÁåœ=iÁåœ5×0-0×4-jÁåœ4×0-0×-3+kÁåœ4×4--3×5=iÁåœ0-jÁåœ0+kÁåœ16--15=31kÁåœ

Therefore, role="math" localid="1657946771878" d→1×d→2is 31kÁåœ.

04

(b) Calculate d→1.d→2

Use the dot product formula to calculate the dot productd→1.d→2.

role="math" localid="1657946958877" d→1.d→2=4iÁåœ+5.01jÁåœ.-3iÁåœ+04jÁåœ=8.0)

Therefore, dot product role="math" localid="1657946883238" d→1.d→2is 8.0 .

05

(c) Calculate (d1+d2).d2

Now, to calculate the d→1.d→2.d→2, first simply the equation as follows.

d→1.d→2.d→2=d→1.d→2+d22

Now, calculated22 .

d22=-32+42=25

Use the value of d→1.d→2from step (4) to calculate d→1.d→2.d→2

d→1.d→2.d→2=8+25=33

06

(d) Calculate the component of d1 along the direction of d2  

The magnitude of d→1is as follows:

d1=42+52=6.4m

Use equation (i) to find the direction.

cosθ=d→1.d→1d1d2θ=cos-16.4.58=75.5°

So horizontal component ofd→1 is as follows:

d→1horizontal=6.4.cos75.5=1.6

Therefore, the horizontal component of d→1is equal to 1.6 .
