Understanding Vector Operations
Dot Product
The dot product of two vectors results in a scalar value. It's calculated as: a·b = ax×bx + ay×by + az×bz. This operation is useful in physics for work and force calculations.
Vector Addition
Adding vectors means combining their components: a+b = (ax+bx, ay+by, az+bz). This is commonly used in physics for force combinations and displacement calculations.
Magnitude
The magnitude of a vector is its length, calculated as: ||a|| = √(ax² + ay² + az²). This is essential for normalizing vectors and calculating distances.
