Vector and Scalar Product Quiz

What are similarities between the scalar product and vector product?

What differences between the scalar product and vector product?

What are the properties of vector product?

• Opposite direction to the two original vectors

• Has the same magnitude as the two original vectors

• Parallel to the two original vectors

• Perpendicular to the two original vectors

You can use the scalar product to find the angle between two vectors

• True

• False

You can use the vector product to find the angle between vectors.

• True

• False

State one property of vector product.

• The vector product is not commutative, meaning A x B does not equal B x A.

• The vector product is always equal to the scalar product

• The vector product is always equal to the dot product

• The vector product is associative, meaning (A x B) x C = A x (B x C)

State one property of scalar product.

• The scalar product is commutative, meaning A · B = B · A.

• The scalar product is always equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors.

• The scalar product is always equal to the magnitude of one of the vectors.

• The scalar product is always equal to the sum of the two vectors.

Explain the difference between vector product and scalar product.

• The vector product and scalar product both result in a scalar.

• The vector product results in a scalar, while the scalar product results in a vector.

• The vector product results in a vector, while the scalar product results in a scalar.

• The vector product and scalar product are the same thing.
