Ch. 7 Review

It's been a while since we have made an entry to the blog...

Key concepts from Chapter 7 are:
  • Vectors as forces
  • Dot product of geometric and algebraic vectors
  • Scalar and vector projections
  • Cross product
  • Applications of the dot and cross product
Here are the recommended review questions that you should try from Pages 418 - 421:

#'s 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 27, 30 and 34

Now start studying!!!

  1. I am now on the computer (making up your unit test) and will check back every so often in case anyone has last minute questions that they need help with.

  3. I got a positive 5 rather than a -5

  4. Christina,

    I am getting -5.

    Somewhere in your solution you should get:

    m + cos(60) - 3m(cos60) - 3 = 0

    Since cos(60) = 1/2 you end up with:

    m + 1/2 - 3/2(m) - 3 = 0

    Solving for m gives a result of -5.

    What makes this question easy is the fact that once again 'a' and 'b' are unit vectors so their magnitude is 1.
