Hello I'm JowJow what a good situation is in this country, hope for the best. Learn, learn and keep learning.
I have learned vector in simple parts that was taught by Mr.Galuh.
Geometrically,
the dot product of two vectors is the magnitude of one times the projection of the second onto the first. (scalar product)
*Scalar means no direction.
Geometrically, the cross
product of two vectors is the area of the parallelogram between them.(vector product)
*Vector means there is direction.
The
right hand rule for cross multiplication
relates the direction of the two vectors with the direction of their product.
Since cross multiplication is not commutative, the order of
operations is important.
1.Hold
your right hand flat with your thumb perpendicular to your fingers. Do not bend
your thumb at anytime.
2. Point your fingers in the direction of
the first vector.
3. Orient your palm so that when you fold
your fingers they point in the direction of the second vector.
4. Your thumb is now pointing in the
direction of the cross product.
Dot product example(A=1i,5j,16k) (B=2i,6j,17k)
1i.5j.16k * 2i.6j.17k = 2i + 30j + 272 = 304
Cross product example (A=1i,2j,2k) (B=1i,2j,3k)
-2k, 0, 6i
-2j,-4i, 0
BxA = 0, 2k, -4j = (2k-2k, -4i-6i, -4j-3j)
-2k, 0, -4i
-3j, -6i, 0
First, find the x, y
1st X, cos 30 * 20 = 1/2 √(3 * 20 = (?)
2n X cos 60 * 40 = 1 * 40 = 40
