Dot Product and Projections Work Done The work W done on the object by a constant force of magnitude acting in the direction of motion over a distance d to be force *distance Furthermore, if we assume that the object moves along A line from to , then , so that work can be expressed entirely in vector form as
Dot Product and Projections Work Done In the case where a constant force is not in the direction of motion, but rather makes an angle with the displacement vector, then we define the work done by to be
Dot Product and Projections Example 4.3 A wagon is pulled horizontally by exciting a constant force of 10lb at an angle of with the horizontal. How much work is done in moving the wagon 50ft? A force lb is applied to a point that moves on a line from to . If distance is measured in feet, how much work is done. Solution:

Cross Products Determinants
Cross Products Properties of Determinants: If two rows in the array of a determinant are the same, then the value of the determinant is 0. Interchanging two rows in the array of a determinant multiplies its value by -1.
Cross Products Definition: If and are vectors in 3-space then the cross product is the vector defined by
