Work as a dot product - Extension there are three ways to multiply vectors multiplication by a scalar dot product cross product 𝑊=𝐹𝑑cosθ definition of dot product 𝐴⋅𝐵=∣𝐴∣∣𝐵∣cosθ A dot product is the product of the magnitude of one vector times the magnitude of the component of a second vector in the direction of the first vector. A resultant of a dot product is a scalar. 𝑊= 𝐹 ⋅ 𝑑
