Question

vector product.

vector a=2.80cm , angle=60.0 degree
vector b=1.90cm, angle=60.0 degree clockwise.

a. Find the magnitude and direction of the vector product. vector A X vector B.

b. Find the magnitude and direction of vector B X vector A.

Answer 1

You are given the magnitude of each vector, and their angle with respect to the horizonal.
You can use the equation
\[\left| a\ x \ b \right| = \left| a \right|\left| b \right|\sin(\theta)\]
\[\theta\] can be found by using the right hand rule
