1 6.4 Vectors and Dot Products
Finding the angle between two vectors Writing a vector as the sum of two vectors components

2 Definition of Dot Product
Given: Two vectors in Component form The result is a number, not a vector

3 Find the Dot Product Given

4 Find the Dot Product Given

5 Products of the Dot Product

6 The Angle Between two vectors
For angles

7 The Angle Between two vectors
For angles Find the angle between

8

9

10 The Angle Between two vectors
For angles Vectors are Orthogonal if there Dot Product (u●v)= 0 What is the angle between the vectors, Why?

11 Definition of Vector Components
Let u and v be nonzero vectors. u = w1 + w2 and w1 · w2 = 0 Also, w1 is a scalar of v The vector w1 is the projection of u onto v, So w1 = proj v u w 2 = u – w 1

12 Decomposing of a Vector Using Vector Components

13 Decomposing of a Vector Using Vector Components

14 Decomposing of a Vector Using Vector Components

15 Definition of Work Work is force times distance.
If Force is a constant and not at an angle If Force is at an angle
