Question

What is the definition of the scalar product (dot product) of two vectors A\mathbf{A} and B\mathbf{B}?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The scalar product is defined as AB=ABcosθ\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = AB \cos \theta, where AA and BB are the magnitudes of the vectors and θ\theta is the angle between them. The result is a scalar quantity.
