12 Vector algebra 2*
Given two vectors A = (3i - 23 + 5k) and B = (61 - 73 + 4k) find:
(a) A: (h) B: (c) (A B.
13 Cosine and sine by vector algebra"
Find the cosine and the sine of the angle between A = (31 + j+ k)
and B = (-2i +j+ k).
14 Direction cosines
The direction cosines of a vector are the cosines of the angles it
makes with the coordinate axes. The cosines of the angles between
the vector and the x, y, and z axes are usually called, in turn., a.B.
and y. Prove that a +B? +y = 1, using either geometry or vector
algebra.
15 Perpendicular vectors
Show that if A - Bj = |A + BỊ, then A and B are perpendicular.
16 Diagonals of a parallelogram
Show that the diagonals of an equilateral parallelogram are
perpendicular.
17 Law of sines
Prove the law of sines using the cross product. It should only take
a couple of lines.
