Scalar Products

The scalar product, sometimes known as the dot product, is an algebraic operation that yields a single integer from two equal-length sequences of numbers. A scalar product results in a scalar quantity or a real number. It is calculated similarly to an algebraic operation.  The most common application of scalar products in physics and astronomy […]

Scalar multiplication

Introduction In Physics, force, velocity, speed, and work are classified as scalar or vector quantity. Scalar quantities are physical quantities with magnitude and no sense of direction. Vectors have both magnitude and direction. Therefore, operations such as addition and multiplication can be easily performed on them. Multiplication, in particular, can be done in two ways,

Scalar and vector products

What does the term “cross product” refer to? Cross product is a two-vector, three-dimensional, binary operation. It creates a vector that is perpendicular to both vectors. a b represents the vector product of two vectors, a and b. Perpendicular to both a and b, the resulting vector is the same. This kind of product is

Scalar and vector products

Scalar and vector products Vectors and scalars are mathematical representations of physical values used in calculations. There are two sorts of physical quantities: scalar quantities and vector quantities. The computation is easier to understand when the values are expressed in scalar or vector form. Learn how to recognise vector and scalar values and the principles

Right-Hand Rule Cross Product

The right-hand thumb rule for the cross-product of two vectors aids in determining the resultant vector’s direction. The orientation of a vector is the angle it makes with the x-axis, which is its direction. A vector is created by drawing a line with an arrow at one end and a fixed point at the other.

Power Method for Eigenvectors

An eigenvector or function vector of a linear transformation is a nonzero vector that changes at most with a scalar problem when that linear transformation is applied to it in linear algebra. The issue with which the eigenvector is scaled is the associated eigenvalue, commonly symbolized by the letter y. In geometric terms, an eigenvector,

Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition

In vector theory, the parallelogram law of vector addition is a method for determining the sum of two vectors that is based on the parallelogram law of vector addition. We will look at two laws of vector addition – the triangle law of vector addition and the parallelogram law of vector addition – in this

Note on Cross Product of Two Vectors

The method of multiplying two vectors is called the cross product. It’s a three-dimensional binary vector operation. The third vector that is perpendicular to the two original vectors is the cross product of two vectors. Its magnitude is determined by the area of the parallelogram between them, and its direction is determined by the right-hand

Note on Co-initial Vectors

As stated in algebra, coinitial vectors are any two or more vectors whose initial points are the same, that is, they all begin at the same place. Parallel vectors may or may not exist between co starting vectors. Depending on the direction of the vectors, they can be intersecting vectors or parallel vectors, and vice
