Problem 4: It should be obvious that the magnitude of a vector is independent of the
choice of coordinate system. This implies that r r is the same for any set of axes. Use this
to prove that the dot product of two different vectors r.s is also independent of coordinate
system. [Hint: Consider the length of r + s.]
The angle between two vectors is u. (a) If u = 30.0o, which has the greater magnitude: the scalar product or the vector product of the two vectors? (b) For what value (or values) of u are the magnitudes of the scalar product and the vector product equal?
