2.4 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Given two vectors A→=−i^+j^\overset{\rightarrow}{A} = − \hat{i} + \hat{j} and B→=3i^−j^\overset{\rightarrow}{B} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j}, find (a) A→×B→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}, (b) |A→×B→|\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}\right|, (c) the angle between A→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} and B→\overset{\rightarrow}{B}, and (d) the angle between A→×B→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B} and vector C→=i^+k^\overset{\rightarrow}{C} = \hat{i} + \hat{k}.
