What are the angles between the negative direction of the y axis and (a) the direction of A→, (b) the direction of the product A→×B→, and (c) the direction of localid="1657001453926" A→×(B→+3.00)kÁåœ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The angle between –y axis and the direction ofA→is 140°

b) The angle between –y axis and the direction of localid="1657001811391" A→×B→is 90°.

c) The angle between –y axis and the direction of A→×(B→+3.00)kÁåœis 99.37° .

Step by step solution

01

Given information

1) The magnitude of A→=8.00

2) The angle made by A→with x-axis is 130°

3) The components of B→are,

role="math" localid="1657001633950" Bx=-7.72By=-9.20

02

Understanding the concept of scalar and vector product

A scalar product is the product of the magnitude of one vector and the scalar component of the second vector along thedirection of the first vector.Using the formula for scalar product and vector product we can find the angle between two vectors.

A→.B→=ABcosθ ...(i)

The vector product of two vectors A→and B→is written aslocalid="1657001852086" A→×B→and is a vector C→whose magnitude is given by,

C=ABsinθ

In unit vector notation, the vector product is written as,

A→×B→=iÁåœAyBz-AzBy-jÁåœAxBz-AzBx+kÁåœAxBy-Ay+Bx …(¾±¾±)

03

(a) Calculate the angles between the negative direction of the y axis and the direction of  A→

The vector A→in unit vector notation is written as,

role="math" localid="1657002332987" A→=8cos130°iÁåœ+8sin130°jÁåœ=-5.14iÁåœ+6.13jÁåœ

Also, the vector B→in unit vector notation is written as,

B→=-7.22iÁåœ+-9.20jÁåœ

The direction of negative y axis is depicted by -jÁåœ.

Therefore, the angle between –y axis and the direction of is,

cosθ=-jÁåœ.-5.14iÁåœ+6.13jÁåœ-5.142+6.132cosθ=-6.138θ=cos-1-6.138=140°

Thus, the angle between –y axis and the direction of A→is140°

04

(b) Calculate the angles between the negative direction of the y axis and the direction of A→×B→ 

The vector product of A→and B→ is perpendicular to x and y-axis. So, A→×B→is perpendicular to –y axis

05

(c) Calculate the angles between the negative direction of the y axis and the direction of A→×(B→+3.00k⏜) 

Use equation (ii) to calculate the cross product and vector addition to add the vectors.

A→×B→+3.00kÁåœ=-5.14iÁåœ+6.13jÁåœÃ—-7.22iÁåœ+9.20jÁåœ+3kÁåœ=6.13×3-0iÁåœ-3×-5.14-0jÁåœ+-5.14×9.2-6.13×-7.22kÁåœ=18.39iÁåœ+15.42jÁåœ+91.54kÁåœ

Now, use equation (i) again to calculate the angle.

cosθ=-jÁåœ.18.39iÁåœ+15.42jÁåœ+91.54kÁåœ18.392+-15.422+91.542=-15.4294.63θ=cos-115.4294.63=99.37°

Therefore, the angle between –y axis and the direction of A→×B→+3.00kÁåœis99.37°.
