Question

1) Express the speed of light, 3x10^8 m/s
, in
a) feet per nanosecond and
b) millimeters per picosecond.

 

2) If A=6i-8j, B=-8i+3j and C=26i+19j determine a and b so that aA+bB+C=0

3)Two vectors are given by,

a=2i+3j-k

b= -i-2j+k

Find 

a) a.b

b) axb

 

4- Three vectors are given by  a= 6i+2j-4k,  b=-2i-j+k,  c=3i+2j+2k

Find

a) a. (bxc)

b) a. (b+c)

c) ax (b+c)

 

5) If d is just a number, for what value of d is the vector A=2i+2j+4k

perpendicular to the vector ?⃗⃗ = 2?̂− 8?̂+ ??̂?
