Presentation Transcript
CHAPTER- 10 (VECTOR ALGEBRA) Content Position Vector Direction Cosines & Direction Ratios Addition of Vectors Components of Vectors Vector Joining two points Section Formula Scalar and Vector Product Angle between two Vectors
Any 3 numbers proportional to Direction Cosines are called Direction Ratios
SCALAR OR DOT PRODUCT It is important to note that if either a = or b = 0, then is not defined, and in this case dot product is 0
VECTOR OR CROSS PRODUCT As can be seen here, in a three-dimensional right- handed rectangular coordinate system, the thumb of the right-hand points in the direction of the positive z-axis when the fingers are curled from the positive x-axis towards the positive y-axis.
ANGLE BETWEEN TWO VECTORS Angle between vectors p and a is always measured anti- clockwise from p to a .
