10
The Angle Between two vectors
For angles Vectors are Orthogonal if there Dot Product (u●v)= 0 What is the angle between the vectors, Why?
11
Definition of Vector Components
Let u and v be nonzero vectors. u = w1 + w2 and w1 · w2 = 0 Also, w1 is a scalar of v The vector w1 is the projection of u onto v, So w1 = proj v u w 2 = u – w 1
