(a-b)X(a+b)=2(aXb), where a and b are vectors.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Vector multiplication is a mathematical operation performed on two vectors to produce a third vector. It is used to find the direction and magnitude of the resulting vector when two vectors are combined.
Vector multiplication involves two vectors, while scalar multiplication involves a vector and a scalar (a single number). Vector multiplication results in a vector, while scalar multiplication results in a number.
The formula for vector multiplication is a-b X a+b = 2(aXb). This formula is used specifically for multiplying two vectors that are parallel and perpendicular to each other.
The resulting vector is twice the magnitude of the original vectors because it is the sum of two multiplied vectors. In other words, the resulting vector represents the combined effect of both original vectors.
Vector multiplication is important in science because it allows us to calculate the effect of multiple forces acting on an object. It is used in physics, engineering, and other fields to model and understand the behavior of various systems.
