Here are three vectors in meters:

d1→=-3.0i^+3.0j^+2.0k^
localid="1654741448647" d2→=-2.0i^+4.0j^+2.0k^

localid="1654741501014" d3→=2.0i^+3.0j^+1.0k^

What result from (a)localid="1654740492420" d1→.(d2→+d3→), (b) d1→.(d2→×d3→), and (c) localid="1654740727403" d1×(d2+d3) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) d1→.(d2→+d3→)=3.0m2

(b) d1→.(d2→×d3→)=52.0m3

(c) d1→×(d2→+d3→)=(11.0m2)i^+(9.0m2)j^+(3.0m2)k^

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Three vectors are given as:

d1→=-3.0i^+3.0j^+2.0k^

role="math" localid="1654741486353" d2→=-2.0i^+4.0j^+2.0k^

d3→=2.0i^+3.0j^+1.0k^

02

Understanding the vector operations

This problem refers to vector operations that include vector addition, dot product and cross product. Dot product is a scalar quantity whereas cross product is a vector quantity.

The expression for the vector product is given as follows:

(a→×b→)=(aybz-byaz)i^+(azbx-bzax)j^+(axby-byax)k^ … (i)

The expression for the dot product is given as follows:

(a→.b→)=(axbx+ayby+azbz) … (ii)

(a) Determination of d→1.(d→2+d→3)

First, addition of d2→and d3→gives,

role="math" localid="1654743006461" (d2→+d3→)=(-2.0+2.0)i^+(-4.0+3.0)j^+(-2.0+1.0)k^=1.0j^+3.0k^

Now, the dot product of d1→gives,

d1→.(d2→+d3→)=(-3.0i^+3.0j^+2.0k^).(-1.0j^+3.0k^)=3.0+6.0=3.0m2

04

(b) Determination of d→1.(d→2×d→3)

The cross product of d2→and d3→gives,

(d2→×d3→)=(-4.0-6.0)i^+(-4.0-(-2.0))j^+((-6.0)-(-8.0))k^

(d2→×d3→)=-10i^+6.0j^+2.0k^

Now, the dot product of d1→gives,

role="math" localid="1654743321424" d1→.(d2→×d3→)=(-3.0i^+3.0j^+2.0k^).(-10i^+6.0j^+2.0k^)=30.0+18.0+4.0=52.0m3

05

(c) Determination of d→1×(d→2+d→3)

The addition of d2→and d3→gives ,

(d2→+d3→)=-1.0j^+3.0k^

Now, now the cross product of d1→gives,

localid="1660891291873" d1→×(d2→+d3→)=(-3.0i^+3.0j^+2.0k^)×(-1.0j^+2.0k^)=(11.0)i^+(9.0)j^+(3.0)k^

(a) In unit-vector notation, what is the sum a→+b→ if a→=(4.0m)i^+(3.0m)j^and b→=(-13.0m)i^+(7.0m)j^? What are the (b) magnitude and (c) direction of a→+b→?

A protester carries his sign of protest, starting from the origin of anxyzcoordinate system, with thexyplane horizontal. He moves40min the negative direction of thexaxis, then20malong a perpendicular path to his left, and then25mup a water tower. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the sign from start to end? (b) The sign then falls to the foot of the tower. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the sign from start to this new end?

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6 km , but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8 km at 50°north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction must he now travel to reach base camp?

A→has the magnitude12.0mand is angled60°counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis of anxy coordinate system. Also,B→=(12.0m)i^+(8.0m)j^on that same coordinate system. We now rotate the system counter clockwise about the origin by20° to form anx'y' system. On this new system, what are (a)A→and (b)B→, both in unit-vector notation?

A fire ant, searching for hot sauce in a picnic area, goes through three displacements along level ground: d1→for 0.40 msouthwest (that is, at 45°from directly south and from directly west),d2→for 0.50 mdue east,d3→for 0.60 mat60°north of east. Let the positive x direction be east and the positive y direction be north. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component ofd1→? Next, what are (c) the x component and (d) the y component ofd2→? Also, what are (e) the x component and (f) the y component ofd3→?

What are (g) the x component, (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and (j) the direction of the ant’s net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?
