New cards

dot product property

a • b = |a| |b| cos θ, where is the angle θ between the vectors

2
New cards

cross product

axb = |a| |b| sin θ n^, where θ is the angle between the scalar A unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing A and B

3
New cards

what quantity does a dot product result in?

scalar

4
New cards

what quantity does a cross product result in?

vector

5
New cards

holds [a • b = b • a]

dot product commutativity

6
New cards

doesn’t hold [a x b = -(b x a)]

cross product commutativity

7
New cards

scalar value, no direction

dot product direction

8
New cards

perpendicular to the plane containing A and B

cross product direction

9
New cards

orthogonality

concept of being independent

2 vectors are this if they are perpendicular to each other

in a math context, two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero, and more generally, any two functions or vectors are orthogonal if their “inner product” is zero

a system design property which guarantees that modifying the technical effect produced by a component of a system neither creates nor propagates side effects other components of the system

10
New cards

two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero

dot product orthogonality

11
New cards

the _____ product of two non-zero vectors is orthogonal to both of them

cross product orthogonality
