Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For the vectors A = (1, 0, 0) and B = (0, 1, 0), what is the scalar product A · B?
  • Step 1: Identify the components of vector A, which are (1, 0, 0). This means A has x = 1, y = 0, and z = 0.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of vector B, which are (0, 1, 0). This means B has x = 0, y = 1, and z = 0.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the scalar product (also known as the dot product), which is A · B = Ax * Bx + Ay * By + Az * Bz.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: A · B = (1 * 0) + (0 * 1) + (0 * 0).
  • Step 5: Calculate each part: 1 * 0 = 0, 0 * 1 = 0, and 0 * 0 = 0.
  • Step 6: Add the results together: 0 + 0 + 0 = 0.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the scalar product A · B is 0.
