Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept of the product rule

This problem is based on the product rule in which the vector product and scalar product are the two ways of multiplying vectors. To construct the scalar product, one multiplies the magnitude of the component of one vector by the magnitude of the component of the other vector. Similarly, When two vectors are multiplied by the sine of the angle between them, the magnitude of the vector product can be found.

Consider, eastward is i^, northward is j^, and upward is k^respectively.

Using the fundamental product rule i^,j^,k^can be written as

i^j^=-j^i=k^ (i)

role="math" localid="1656308707958" j^k^=-k^j^=i^ (ii) k^i^=-i^k^=j^ (iii)

02

To find north cross west

eastward is i^, so west is -i^therefore,

j^-i^=k^=up

03

To find down dot south

Similarly,

(-k^)(-j^)=0

04

To find east cross up

i^k^=-j^southi^

05

To find west dot west

(-i^)(-i^)=1

06

To find south cross south

(-j^)(-j^)=1

Let i^be directed to the east, j^be directed to the north, and be directed upward.What are the values of products (a) i^.k^,(b)(-k^).(j^), and (c)(j^).(-j^)? What are the directions (such as east or down) of products (d)k^j^,(e)(-i^)(-j^),and(f)(-k^)(-j^)?

A man goes for a walk, starting from the origin of an xyz coordinate system, with the xy plane horizontal and the x axis eastward. Carrying a bad penny, he walks1300meast,2200mnorth, and then drops the penny from a cliff 410mhigh. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the penny from start to its landing point? (b) When the man returns to the origin, what is the magnitude of his displacement for the return trip?

In the product F=qvB, takeq=2,v=2.0i+4.0j+60k,andF=4.0i-20j+12k. What then isBin unit-vector notation ifBx=By?

Being part of the 鈥淕ators,鈥 the University of Florida golfing team must play on a putting green with an alligator pit. Figure 3-22 shows an overhead view of one putting challenge of the team; an xy coordinate system is superimposed. Team members must putt from the origin to the hole, which is at xy coordinates (8 m, 12 m), but they can putt the golf ball using only one or more of the following displacements, one or more times:d1鈬赌=(8m)i^+(6m)j^,d2鈬赌=(6m)j^,d3鈬赌=(8m)i^The pit is at coordinates (8 m, 6 m). If a team member putts the ball into or through the pit, the member is automatically transferred to Florida State University, the arch rival. What sequence of displacements should a team member use to avoid the pit and the school transfer?
